DEER ELIMINATION
THE WELLINGTON DISTRICT SYSTEMATIC PLAN ARRANGED (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 7. From October till May a clean-up will be undertaken of the deer-in-fested areas of the Wellington district northwards, from Wellington by the Masterton road to the Manawatu Gorge. The work will be carried out by regular parties of men under the long-term plan of deer destruction organised by the Department of Internal Affairs, and to ensure that the best results will follow no licences for casual deer slavers will be issued. “ The department does not want to do all the shooting,” it was remarked, “ but official and casual shooting don’t gc together. Aftei being shot over for a time, the areas have to be-spelled to allow the deer to nuieten down.” The City and Suburban Watei Board, whose area is affected, will co-operate fully with the department in withdrawing all shooting permits during the clean-up period and the erection of warning notices.
