GOVERNMENT EXPERTS.
PROTEST FROM FARMERS’ UNION Per Press Association. Auckland, Jast night. At a mooting of the Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union the Stud Bill was read. The list of diseases disqualifying stallions for service was discussed, and it was pointed out that many of tho diseases were easily detected, so that the aid of experts was not needed. The only use of tho Bill would be to provide employment for more experts at the expense of tho stallion owners, who are to be taxed. It was decided to oppose the Bill. Mr Wyllie stated that his branch (Mauku) desired him to express to the Union their opinion that the disease recently reported in that district was not anthrax. He submitted a report on the subject, which was considered in committee. No action was taken, it being considered that the opinion of veterinary surgeons placed the matter beyond doubt.
