Everything possible has been done to check the disease and to prevent its recurrence, and I am pleased to say that the conditions are how very much better, and we have passed the worst.
In addition to the 160 head of new cattle imported during the past year, we are now making enquiries for a further lot in order to enable us to cope with the very large demand for Four milk and dairy produce.

EFFECT. ON THE SCHEME,
In connection with the announce- ment made by the Chairman of the Dairy Farm. Ice and Cold Storage Co., Ltd., at the annual meeting of that concern to-day, that Messrs. Wiseman Ltd. will not proceed with the negotiations for a merger with the Hongkong Hotel Co., and the Dairy Farm, it is understood that
the reasons for this decision wil
probably find explanation when the negotiations between the two cota panies still interested in the project Conte to a head. It is also believed that the part Messrs. Wiseman's business was to play in the scheme will
not
be
abandoned
and
that the Hongkong Hotel will arrange to accommodate
OYU
its
extensive premises the American delicatessen store originally planned for Wiseman's. This store. which it is thought will be placed handy to the roof garden lifts, will be fitted up with the latest thing in ice cream soda fountains,
It is understood also that nego- tiations between the Hongkong Hotel and the Dairy Farm will continue until a decision is reached for sub mission to the shareholders of the two companies.
