FACIAL ECZEMA
NO NEW CASES REPORTED. AFFECTED STOCK STILL DYING. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 23. A definite statement was made by responsible officers of the Department of Agriculture today that no fresh cases of facial eczema in sheep or cattle “were being reported but that deaths were still occurring of animals that had been badly affected by the recent outbreak. Stock which had taken the disease badly were still be•ing sent to Westfield for boiling down to save them from dying on the farms. “Cattle and sheep affected by the disease show slow improvement, and many are still in the convalescent stage on farms,” said one officer. “It will be a long time before the aftermath is entirely cleaned up, but there is consolation in the fact that the disease is not contagious and no new cases are occurring.”
