CATTLE TICK AT AWHITU.
WHOLE DISTRICT TO BE INSPECTED. In reply to Cr. Mellsop at Thursday’s meeting of the Franklin County Council, when officers of the Agricultural Department were present concerning the rabbit question, as to the steps to be taken regarding a case of cattle tick at Awhitu, Mr. Munro said that an inspection had been made of several herds in the district, but in only the one case had cattle tick been found. They had made investigations but were unable to place the origin of the tick. That morning a man left Aucklalnd to examine the whole of the cattle in the district, and he would be there until the work was completed. Instructions had been given to the owner of the cattle with the tick to spray every beast every 14 days. This was the only way of killing the tick.
