Scab on Tutb East Coast.—A correspom dent thus writes to the Napier Tdegraph I *‘ To the Editor': Sir, —I notice in a Poverty JI ay Herald of a recent date, a suggestion thrown out that the Government should buy up from the natives, the whole of the scab infected districts on the East Coast, to the north of Poverty Bay, and then purchase the scabby sheep and boil them down. The cost, the same newspaper states, would only be a trifle, and the benefit to the East Coast settlers incalculable. The suggestion appears to me to be worthy to be ranked with those brilliant ones concerning the plucking of ripe turnips from the tree tops, Ac., dashed off by the youthful editor of an agricultural journal spoken of by Mark Twain. —I am, &c.,— Sheep-wash.”
