An alleged danger through commercial rabbit breeding was brought to the notice of the General Committee of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association on Tuesday, when a letter was received from the Sheepowners’ Union, asking that the association should not make «^vu* S * 011 - or ra bbits at future shows. > There is now a slump in rabbitskins, which will make the breeding unprofitable, 1 said Mr W; H, Nicholson. “It is feared that many breeders will give it up, and, reluctant to kill off the rabbits, will turn them loose. It is highly undesirable that they be added to the rabbit pest already with us.” Mr T. A, Stephens said that the Chinchillas were mainly affected, and they were not so bad. It s all rather a bogey " said Mr James Deans. “The increased price of rabbitskiiis has done, a lot to get rabbits under, in that it has encouraged trappers and shooters. I move that no action be taken in the matter.” The motion was seconded by Mr J. O. Coop, and the committee decided not to take any action.

NOW READY. NOW READY. A GREAT COLONISER: The Rev. Dr. THOMAS BURNS Pioneer Minister of Otago, New Zealand, and nephew of the poet Robert Bums. By the Rev. Dr. E. N. Merrington, Master of Knox College, Dunedin. 4 In this book the author traces the interesting life-story of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Burns. It is an important contribution to n j st ?. ry of c °l° n isation, which has been called ‘ the romance of the nineteenth century. The letters of Burns to Cargill, wntten during the four years which followed Disruption, now published for the first time, reveal the apparently insurmountable obstacles which confronted the leaders of the proposed Scottish enterprise, and the spirit in which the difficulties were finally overcome. The book describes the voyage of the pioneers, the hardships of the early days the successful establishment of the church, the school, the town of Dunedin, and the province of Otago, This biography will do much to re-create the remarkable personality of a Presbyterian minister to whom a noble column stands in me heart of Dunedin, but whose real monument might almost be said to be the churches, schools, colleges, and even the university of the province which he did SO much to establish. ii is well tor students of Scoltisl history and future historians of the Empir to note that, from Mossgiel, there emanatec not only songs which have delighted thi world, and have knit together Scotchmei ail the world over, but also an eames Christian minister, with statesmanlike gifts who played a most important part in ex tending and strengthening our Empire in « far-away part of the globe."—The Rev. Dr Kirkwood Hewat. M.A., F.S.A. (Scot.). Now.ready (with illustrations). Price, 7/6 (postage 4d extra). Address orders to Manager Otago Daily Tunes and Witness Co.. P.O. Box 181, Dunedin.
