THE TICK PEST.
MR GILRUTH'S RETURN. [Pee Press Association.! WELLINGTON, Oct. 19. Mr Gilruth, the Government veterinary surgeon, returned by the Tekapo yesterday from his visit to Europe and Australia. He says that as the result of his observations in Queensland concerning the tick plague, it is highly improbable that the pest will come to New Zealand, provided due precautions are continued. He thinks it doubtful if the tick would live in the colony, as it has not been proved that it exists below the 24th parallel.
