FARMERS’ UNION AT HORORATA
DISCUSSION ON INCIDENCE OF ANIMAL DISEASE Mr K. W. J. Hall presided at the last meeting of the Hororata branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union. In response to a request from the Council of Agricultural Research of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research as to the incidence of animal diseases in the province, it was decided to reply that the most important was considered to be internal parasites in sheep, with foot-rot second. The conditions for a pasture competition in the district to be judged this autumn were discussed and the following were agreed upon, subject to the approval or revision of the annual meeting—Class 1. Pasture on land the unimproved value of which is £8 an acre or under; Class 2. Pasture on land the unimproved value of which is more than £B. In both classes the area of paddocks is to be not less than 3 per cent, of the total holding and with a minimum of five acres'.
