PHEASANT VICTIMS
POISONED POLLARD FOR RAUITB [Pek United Press Association.] PALMERSTON NORTH, June 25. One of the methods of destroying rabbits is to scatter phosphorised pollard, but unfortunately not only rabbits get caught, the Palmerston North branch of the Acclimatisation Society regretting the fact that pheasants are also among the victims. At the meeting it was reported that in the Tangimoana Crown area a large number of dead birds had been picked nip. Each bird cost 17s 6d. The meeting recognised the efficacy of pollard poisoning in the destruction of rabbits, but decided to bring the matter of the pheasants to the notice of the Wellington Society to see if anything could be done.
