Saw No Stock
“We went right across France and half-way across Switzerland without seeing any sign of stock,’’ stated Rotai’ian A. B. Hurst in an address to
the Napier Rotary Club on his recent tour of some of the European countries. “There were green pastures but not a cow of any description," continued the speaker, and this peculiarity had caused him to ask the reason. He had been told that all the stock was at that umc m tiie Alps. The Alps appeared to b.e tiie higher grasslands, and not the mountains as we in New Zealand understood them. In the Alps the grass was shorter and the stock was moved to these areas for grazing during the summer months.
