GISBORNE, this day.
An appeal for an authoritative pronouncement refuting the published statements attributing the facial eczema outbreak to stock secured from the Gisborne district is being made by the Poverty Bay Sheepowners' Union to the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. Lee Martin, The union joints out that veterinarians agree that,-the disease is non-contagious, and cannot be carried from one district to another. It is considered that if the false impression persists the district's trade in livestock is likely to be prejudiced.
