MINISTER’S OBSERVATIONS. Per Press Association. ROTORUA, Sept. 14. The Minister of Internal Affairs (Hon. W. E. Parry) is at present paying an official visit to the Rotorua district. The Minister referred to the efforts he was making to improve pheasant shooting by the establishment of a game-breeding farm at Ngongotaha, near Rotorua, and said that h© was satisfied after the investigations he had made that there was no lack of trout in the Rotorua and Taupo districts. The fish were in splendid condition, and he was convinced that a great deal of talk about the deterioration in quality of the fish in the 'district was balderdash. Nevertheless, he was concerned to see that the quantity of trout food in the lakes was maintained, and to this end he had established a special research department which had the matter in hand.
