CATTLE SICKNESS IN LAND
EXPLANATIONOF VETERINARIAN TOKOROA GOOD FOR DAIRYING. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. In the Matarawa land case, Samuel Burton, M.R.C.V.'S., formerly Government Veterinarian,, who investigated bush sickness at Mamaku and eattle sickness at Tokoroa, said the two maladies were vastly different. The Mamaku sickness was due to ground glass in the soil being pulled up when the cattle were grazing. The Tokoroa sickness was due to a deficiency of iron. He would prefer the Tokoroa land for dairying to any land in New Zealand. Several farmers in Tokoroa declared that they were well satisfied with the results of dairying there, and were troubled very little with sickness.
