§ Sir T. DugdaleMy officers have instructions to give every possible assistance, and to encourage co-operation between farmers. The county agricultural executive committee has a staff specially appointed to destroy foxes and from January to October of this year accounted for no less than 1,173. There are two fox destruction societies in the county who are assisted in their endeavours to destroy foxes, and they, in the same period, have accounted for a further 326 foxes.
