BOUNTY SCHEMES
Bounty schemes at present in operation, offering 25 Od per token girip of hide, account for only about 1,000,000 cpossums a

While opossums do not breed as rapidly as rabbits, there are sull enough of them to do im- measureable damage to the agriculture and timber indus- trics. Nor is the problem of eredicating them easy, for they are difficult to get at in thick bush, and trepping only takes a small toll in the spareer bush areas.
Then there are the deer and goals. Thousands of these are shot every year by hunters em- ployed by the Government ex- prosely For the purpose of keeping down the number of lhess animais, Private hunters socount for many more..
