An unenviable experience hefel a salesman in the Waipukurau district recently. Wishing to visit a farm house well back from the road, the salesman left his car on the road and took a short cut through some paddocks. In the middle of a 50-acre paddock he found himself being surrounded by a mob of steers, drawn to him merely through curiosity. A record dash was made for a nearby tree. For an hour and a-half the salesman kept his vigil in the tree, with rain falling heavily throughout. Towards dusk he grew desperate, and cautiously retreated knee deep through an adjacent swamp. It was poor solace to him when he arrived bedraggled at the farm house to find that the cattle were quite harmless.
