Pastures Protection Board Meets in Armidale
The Armidale Pastures Protection Board met but lacked a quorum with only Director Mitchell present. The rabbit inspector J W Rae reported inspections across 62 holdings covering 085 miles in October, noting high rabbit populations at Kellys Plains and Hobbs areas, with poison efforts hampered by green feed. Monthly scalps and certificates totaled 11,000, and plans for further poison cart work at Invergowrie were noted alongside a prosecution against Mrs. Thorley of Woodburn for rabbit destruction.
