CATTLE TICK TROUBLE.
BURDENSOME DIPPING. Rotorua, Friday. Te Puke is in a district declared an “A” area for cattle tick. This entails on stock owners obligations such as the dipping of cattle once every three weeks. Were it a “B” area the obligations would not be so serious. Stock owners met the Prime Minister this morning and asked that the district should be declared a “B” area. They did not wish to shirk obligations, they said, but felt that to take their cattle to the dip so often would leave them little time to do anything else. They were quite willing to dip all cattle before shifting them to other districts. Mr. Massey promised that the matter would go before the Agricultural Department.
