REMARKS. (a) Increased rabbit-destruction activities, particularly in the south of the South Island, led to heavy sales of strychnine and consequent strychnine stock replacements. High prices for rabbit-skins are resulting in a continuation of demands for strychnine, and the necessary stocks are ordered. (b) Restrictions on stock movements in North Island districts were removed by regulations and it is now only necessary to provide for dipping or spraying in certain cases where stock may be in need of that attention if intended for shipment to the South Island. (c) Costs relative to a serious outbreak of a disease at Bombay were absorbed by this item. The current provision is designed to meet normal requirements. (d) The incidence of feed purchases fluctuates; also there is a hardening tendency in feed-costs. (e) The Auckland Quarantine-station (Motuihi Island) having been released for war purposes, leaves only one station (Somes Island), and even if stock importations remain below normal the relatively high transport costs for that station are likely to render the current provision barely adequate. (/) Number of officers, 118. Travelling-allowances, £4,446 ; travelling-expenses, £2,610 ; motor and taxi hire, £1,929 ; motor-mileage allowances, £5,368.

REMARKS. (a) There was an excellent output of pedigree seed from contract areas, and anticipated credits were consequently in excess of the estimate. (b) This laboratory was reorganized and some of its intended activities were deferred and may remain in abeyance under war conditions. (c) Seed-testing charges were increased and it was anticipated that this extra cost might tend to enable existing equipment to meet testing requirements. On the contrary there was a buoyancy of samples submitted, and additional equipment had to be provided to give adequate rapidity of service. (d) Primary production and linen flax in particular demanded close attention, and this fact is reflected under motor transport, telephones, and travelling items. (e) Number of officers, 76. Travelling-allowances, £3,412 ; travelling-expenses, £1,654 ; motor and taxi hires, £1,402 ; motor-mileage allowances, £2,130.

REMARKS. .' v (a) Running-expenses of certain;oars are directly related to.Ruakura Research Station and have been, and will continue to be, absorbed by that item. j ;, . (b) Some supplies from overseas are not to hand ; these and generally increased costs, particularly on supplies from overseas;, affect this item. (c) Extension of projects necessitates an expansion of expenditure. (d) The incidence of facial eczema and progress of general investigations govern the extent to which this item is used. A grass drier in course of construction will come to charge this year. (e) The new building at this station, led to considerable expenditure on fittings, hence the reduced figure for the current year. (/) The progress in research work generally and the addition of officers likely to be required to travel extensively will absorb the current year's increase in this item.. Last year, travelling was on a minimum basis. Number of officers, 19. Travelling-allowances, £382 ; travelling-expenses, £507 ; motor and taxi hires, £77 ; motor-mileage allowances, £298. (g) Some restriction in tuberculin-testing operations caused a falling off in. compensation expenditure. Present indications are that the restrictions will not be continued. (A) Additional Rabbit Boards have been formed and rates on which the subsidy is based are expected to require the current year's provision.

EEMARKS. (a) Except for a limited development programme, which will probably be finalized this current year, the Department's activities in linen flax will be advisory and supervisory, the expenditure being under the Linen Flax Section of Industries and Commerce Department. (b) Some counties did not expend their allocations, but, even if the same position arises in this current year, the very substantial increase in the cost of sodium chlorate will offset the heavy expenditure provision in this item, if the contemplated programme is to be effective. (o) Nominal provision only : Expenditure governed by situations which arise, more or less, unexpectedly. (d) This contribution is based on cows tested twice or more and the support accorded to it was greater than expectations based on the previous year suggested.

DETAILS OF ESTIMATES FOR THE

LAND FOR SETTLEMENTS ACCOUNT —continued.

(a) During the year several areas were acquired under the land-for-settlement legislation for the settlement of discharged soldiers. At the 31st March, 1941, a transfer of these areas was made to the administration of the Small Farms Board, and a financial adjustment was effected between the Land for Settlements Account and the Public Works Fund General Purposes Account of the cost of acquisition and development* to date. The total amount thus transferred was £226,111, £172,208 in respect of acquisition of lands and £53,903 in respect of development operations. The cost of development of these areas was only partly provided for (item overdrawn by £12,028), and the appropriation required for 1941-42 is therefore lower on account of certain areas being transferred to the administration of the Small Farms Board. (b) Provision made for commitments of over £6,000 carried forward and for anticipated additional expenditure. (c) Under section 205 of the Land Act, 1924, certain selectors of settlement land have the option, on the expiry of their leases, of obtaining a new lease or being compensated for their improvements. Payment for improvements must also be made under section 83 of the Land Act, 1924, where land is withdrawn from selection. The expenses expected in 1940-41 are being paid in 1941-42. (id) Number of officers, 1; motor-hire, £2 9s. 9d.; travelling-expenses, £45 14s. 9.; travellingallowances, £51 2s. 3d. (e) Payment for assistance in mustering live-stock, £1 2s. 6d. (/) Sales and rental receipts in respect of lands in the Hutt Valley Settlement are credited to the Land for Settlements Account in accordance with section 11 of the Hutt Valley Settlement Act, 1925. Provision is made for the receipts to be allocated, after the deduction of administration charges, as follows : (a) In satisfaction of advances made by the Land for Settlements Account for cost of acquirement, and development; (b) in satisfaction of interest on land-for-settlement outgoings ; (c) in meeting the cost of the Petone-Waterloo Railway ; (d) any surplus to be paid to Working Railways Account. Charges under (a) and (b) had been met in full on 31st March, 1940, so that receipts during 1940-41 and 1941-42 require to be paid to the Railways Department. These are estimated to amount to £30,000.
