HAWKE’S BAY DROUGHT
SENDING STOCK OVER THE RANGES The prolonged drought in the .Hawke's Bay district is causing grave concern to farmers and evidence of it s effect is seen in the unusually large number of stock trains arriving on the Napier line for the West Coast.
Frequently long trains of loaded sheep trucks have hen observed, many of them continuing up the . Main Trunk line to districts where feed is more plentiful.
A ..Manawilu farmer said to the Standard; “1 have more feed than 1. know what to do with and only the other day I accepted for grazing a hundred well conditioned bullocks acquired by a local dealer in Hawke’s Bay.”
It would appear.., that, the Manawatu or certain parts of it at least is mudi more -favourably situated just now than Hawke’s Bay, where up rain of any| value to farmers lias fallen for oyer two months past.
