The whaler Kosmos has sailed from Wellington for Ross Sea, accompanied by her seven chasers.
Speaking at a meeting of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society the other evening, Mr F. E. M'Kenzie said there was urgent need of co-ordinated control of hawks. “The Auckland Society is paying for the killing of between 12,000 and 15.000 hawks each year, but the rest of the societies in the North Island are doing very little if anything,” he added. “As a result, the hawks are simply coming into our territory as fast as the food supply improves as the result of our killings.” Some compulsion should be laid on all societies to spend a certain proportion of their revenue on the reduction of hawks. Unless all combined their efforts, no headway could be made.- It was decided that information concerning , the efforts being made by other societies should be sought.
