✨ Provincial Council Election and Rations Tender

Sir,—I have to acquaint you that there are as far as I can make out about 300 sheep in the Omata district that I have not seen since the 10th of April, and which are in the bush or driven away, or destroyed.

Of the Flocks marked “Scab” there is not on an average more than 1 per cent diseased; and as soon as the steamer arrives from Sydney, I shall finish the shearing of the lambs and dipping the second time, the dipping stuff having run short.

W. H. FREE,
Inspector of Sheep.

Provincial Secretary.
