IMPORTATION OF STUD STOCK
RAISING OF THE EMBARGO A VARIETY OF OPINIONS (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 22. The raising of the embargo on stock from Great Britain was discussed at the annual meeting of the Canterbury A. and P. Association to-night, and a resolution was carried to the effect that the incoming committee consider the question of recommending the lifting of the embargo on British live stock. All the speakers except one favoured the removal of the embargo, emphasising that there had been a deterioration of cattle because of the lack of new blood. The speakers considered the present precautions against foot-and-mouth disease adequate. The Corriedale Sheep Society at its annual meeting to-night decided on the other hand to oppose the introduction of sheep to New Zealand from England or from any other country infected with foot-and-mouth disease. A motion proposing that the society support the Ryeland Sheep Society’s proposal to allow one shipment of stud stock from England each year was lost by 12 votes to 0.
