NO STOCK DISEASE AT SOMES ISLAND.
DR REAKES DENIES FARMER’S STATEMENT. .Per Press Association. WELLINGTON. August 22. “A Press Association message from Palmerston North yesterday credited Mr J. A. Mitchell with telling the Manawatu A. and P. Association that there were at present several head of stock on Somes Island suffering from foot and mouth disease. This,” said Dr Reakes, Director-General of Agriculture, this morning, in a statement, ‘‘is entirely without foundation. There happen to be cattle from the United States in quarantine on the island at present, but all of them are in good health and have been in good health ever since their arrival.”
