STARVATION DIET
AUSTRALIAN CATTLE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AbHBURTON, This Day. "The whole party is unanimous that the cattle were starved," said Mr. Moore when the Sydney message in connection with dairy herds was referred to him. They were all below I the bread line, and he would not say that New Zealanders would do any better under such feeding conditions. The worst mob in his district looked fat in comparison with the herds his party saw. One farmer told him he was milking 45 cows for eleven gallons of milk. The tourists actually saw cows gnawing the baric off gum trees. It seemed there were generations of starvation behind the animals. The trouble was that farmers there had never known dairying as New Zealanders know it.
The message referred to appears, on page 11 under the heading "Criticism Resented."
