Measures taken to fight the outbreak of the cattle tick menace in the Poverty Bay district have been highly successful. according to an announcement made by Mr. D. M. Ross, senior stock inspector at Gisborne, who stated that practically no ticks had been noticed in the infested area during the past few weeks (states the "Times”). This result is a tribute to the work of the Department, who have been carefully watching the position and conducting spraying operations on the stock in the infested area, and also on all beasts leaving that area. The outbreak has been confined to dairy herds, run cattle showing no sign of the infestation. Farmers and drovers have co-operated with the Department in very commendable fashion, thus rendering the restriction of the outbreak all the easier.
