FARMING IN TANGANYIKA
Sir.-Iv reply to "Taranaki Ted," I have contacted Mr. Fox, who regrets very much that the authenticity of the descriptions he gave of farming in Tanganyika should be doubted. He described the hazardous and dangerous features of farming in a particular area, with which he was very familiar, in all seriousness and good faith. Mr. Fox was born in Kenya, and when he was eight yegrs old went to live on a farm in Tanganyika. He states that it is quite true that elephants have been rounded up with the cows, and that lions do attack the stock and have carried them off in the manner described. The area in which he lived is known as Olmolog, and this is situated on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, the jungle being the boundary of the farm. Mr. Fox went on to say that the owner of the farm and many other residents in the district could give similar eye-witness accounts. If "Taranaki Ted" is still in doubt, and cares to contact me personally, I would be pleased to introduce him to
Mr. Fox.
