FEED IN THE WAIKATO
O.C. HAMILTON, Monday. The rainfall for December to date has totalled 5.56 in, as against the average fall for December in Hamilton of 3.44 in. Fine weather has been experienced during the last week, and temperatures have become appreciably warmer. The rains have been of incalculable benefit in promoting* pasture growth in the Waikato, and although haymaking was delayed by the wet weather, it is now well under way and excellent crops are being gathered. Paspalum grass has made strong growth under the influence of the rain and farmers who have it in their paddocks are assured of ample feed supplies in the autumn. The prospects for a favourable production period for the remainder of the season are good, and the output should be much in excess of that for the 1943-44 season.
