STOCK IMPORTATIONS
LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS URGED (P.A.) WELLINGTON June 26. A decision to ask the Royal Agricultural Society to request the Government to lift the restrictions on stock importations direct t$ New Zealand as soon as the quarantine station in Britain was operating was made to-day by a meeting of Breed .Society representatives held before the annual meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society. It was pointed out that the cost of importing high-class sires was prohibitive to many small breeders. Mr G. H. Dowick (Palmerston North), of the Jersey Breeders’ Society, said that his society was considering artificial insemination. Through this method high-class strains would be available to members. Others at the meeting declared that New Zealand was in danger of losing ground because of the difficulty of importing stud sheep.
