(N.Z. Press Association) NELSON, February 8. Conditions in the Nelson district are ideal for an outbreak of facial eczema, says the Ministry of Agriculture. It is the third danger period this season.

Muir) said grass samples had been checked, but they had shown no signs of rising spore counts. However, the risk this autumn would be greater than usual, he said.
