§ 59. Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made in the search for a humane and efficient trap for rabbits; and what encouragement his Department is giving to research in this direction.
Mr. T. WilliamsMy Department has examined and tested a number of models in the search for a humane and efficient rabbit trap. The prototype of one design recently submitted has proved to be a definite advance and worthy of extensive field tests under official supervision; a substantial order has been placed for this purpose, and delivery in time for trials during the coming spring is being urged on the manufacturers.
