FACIAL ECZEMA.
OUTBREAK UNLIKELY.
(From Our Correspondent.)
HAMILTON, Wednesday,
Although there have been isolated cases reported of stock in the Waikato being afflicted with facial eczema, it seems, very unlikely that there will be any outbreak of the disease this summer. Early in the summer the Facial Eczema Management Committee issued a circular advising farmers of a number of safeguards to prevent the trouble, and those farmers who followed the advice should have no fears about an outbreak of the disease. Ample mature feed is regarded as one of the main factors in combating facial eczema, and a survey of Waikato farms shows that growth on most pastures has been steady and flushes of feed have been avoided.
