IN LIMITED AREA.
TICKS IN POVERTY BAY. (Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, January 21. It was stated to-day by Dr. C. J. Reakes (Director-General of Agriculture), that the tick invasion discovered in Poverty Bay is limited to a small area in the Tolaga Bay district. The ticks are of the same variety as those further north and though they have never been known to cause any sickness among cattle or act as conveyers of disease, it is recognised that they are undesirable parasites and are capable of doing some damage to hides when in their present quantity. Accordingly a systematic effort is being made to stamp them out. They are not the same as the tick in Queens land, which carries the tick fever from spimal to animal.
