Penalties Set For Rabbit Destruction Under Vermin Act
Under the Vermin and Noxious Weeds Act the Victorian Parliament empowers penalties up to £100. The Governor in Council fixes the start date for destroying rabbits on vine land. First violation carries £5 to £50, later offences £10 to £100. Prosecution may follow after fourteen days if obligations are not met.
Rabbits to be controlled before wet season arrives
The notice urges landholders and workers under the Land Board to cooperate in seasonal rabbit control. It advises poisoning with baits of poison or carrots and strychnine, followed by land work, digging burrows, and use of mechanical rippers where available to curb rabbit populations before the rains.
Orchard windbreaks guide for Victorian orchards and groves
Horticultural officers urge windbreaks using rapidly growing trees to protect orchards and erasy groves. Choose species by district, plant ahead of planting if possible, or add shelter trees to avoid frost, disease, and sunburn losses. Maintain a headland of thirty to forty feet between windbreaks and fruit trees to prevent root interference.
