The season for taking salmon in South Canterbury rivers will close on Maj’ 14 (says the Timaru Herald). At present the salmon rivers are too high and discoloure for fishing, but anglers are anxiously awaiting a favourable opportunity to try their luck before the season comes to an end. Remarking on the shooting of pukekos, a Wanganui farmer said that he could’ not see what enjoyment the “ sports ” derived from it, as the birds were so tame that they would not stir even if one walked quite close to them (states the Chronicle). There are a number of these beautiful birds on the property of the farmer in question, and he lias failed to see what damage the birds do.
