STOCK IN SOUTH ISLAND
EXCELLENT CONDITION
NOTED
“Throughout the South Island the stock position appears to be excellent,” remarked the Minister for Agriculture (the Hon. W. Lee Martin) on his return to Christchurch after a week’s tour as far as Invercargill. The Minister said he was struck by the really excellent conditions in Southland, both from the stock and feed standpoints, especially as he had been under the impression that winter conditions had been more than unduly severe. The Royal Show at Invercargill was described by the Minister as being a magnificent display of all kinds of stock. He doubted whether the equal of the stock had ever been brought together at any of the pre-. vious Royal Shows.
