GRASSLANDS OF DOMINION
A N N UAL CON FEUEN CE This yea)' the conference of the New Zealand Grassland Association will return to Christchurch with a programme more ambitious and more distinctly South Island in its subject matter than was the successful 1933 conference. In the meantime the association has extended its activities to embrace not only pastures, but crops supplementary to pastures and to stock-husbandry in its relation to the efficient utilisation of pastures. The association's executive, consisting of Messrs A. H. Cockayne, E. Bruce Levy, and R. P. Connell, of the Department of Agriculture, and Professor Riddel, and Mr A. W. Hudson, of Massey Agricuitural College, has been assisted in the arrangements for the conference by Professor F. W. Hilgendorf and Mr G. H. Holford, Christchurch members of the committee. Provision has been made for a comprehensive review of the grass-
farming position, with particular attention to matters of direct practical moment. The conference promises to be a mobilising of the forces, scientific and industrial, which labour to enable New Zealand to maintain her position as leader in grassland farming.
