Farmers are at. present, confronted with the most serious epidemic of eczema among stock that has ever occurred in the Auckland Province. The position becomes more serious daily, cases having been reported of individual farmers losing as many as 300 head of sheep, and cattle also are now, being affected. Unless the weather becomes cooler soon, causing a more natural growth of feed, authorities contend that dire results may be expected. Some farmers may be faced with the prospect of replacing whole flocks and herds before next season.—Press Association.
