There appears to be no doubt that there is a pronounced rabbit increase in various portions of the North Island. Some authorities state that the reason was the dry spring, by which the young rabbits were enabled to hvo. l<<>r several years previous to 1909 theie have been torrential downpours, which, in thousands of cases, flooded out the burrows and drowned the rodents, voting and old. ’llie mortality was naturally greatest among the smaller fry. It is' contended by several well-in-formed fanners (says the “Dominion”) that more poisoning will have to-be gone into as a- sot-ofF to the spring weather conditions, which have enabled bunny to steal a march on the enemy. If something is not done in the way of more vigorous methods of rabbit extermination and another dry spring: follows the consequences arc likely to- be serious to the farmer. It is also noticeable- that this summer the rabbits arc not taking the poison very well. The new, .succulent grass is thought to be' responsible for this state of things. Why wait for that hoarseness to “wear off,” when Zymole Trokeys will stop it so much quicker? Disagreeable coughs are often avoided by the use of' isvxnolo TroKevs.
