FARM j=|Ml FORUM ■—— I - Questions end answers by experts for the men on the lad ■v . « I . Close cooperation with the contractor results In timely ballinf. Timing the Cutting of Hay It is tempting some summers “to make hay while the sun shines**, before flu contractor can come round and bail it. Could I give it suitable protection in tke meantime if I did this? I don’t understand my correspondent very well here. It is presumed yo» mean, ‘‘lf I cut my hay too soon what can I do if the contractor is late”! This situation happens all too often. Some of us can remember theoU method of making the hay into “cocks” and stacking it later on. Tb® method was slow, but it made good hay, and is still used in some cotmtrio* Cutting hay too soon does not achieve anything, rather the reverse. —keep in close touch with your contractor, or perhaps invest in a small teikf yourself or with one or two of your neighbours. Sowing on Ploughing a. 7s it compUuly unsafe to plant crops straight on ploughed sou which has al had the discs over ill Soil that has been well cultivated prior to the final ploughing was often on the ploughing—particularly in Canterbury when wheat growing was PT ular. The finishes were disced or grubbed in and the wheat sown. “ * however, an uncommon practice. Ground ploughed out of old pasture »> not worked prior to sowing would be unsafe to sow crops into immedilMfr in the sense that the land had insufficient work. But land ploughed pri»" winter could be fit to sow with light cultivation the following spring. D* B are not always necessary and it should be remembered that discing does make up for poor cultivation techniques or lateness of plowing. Controlling Weeds in Carrots a- I understand there is a weedkiller to control weeds in carrots. Could you «• me the name of the product and how to apply ? *• Shell Weedkiller W is sold by The Shell Company of New Zeala» Limited for selective weedkilling of carrots. This is applied undiluted wi* o the carrots are in the 2-4 true leaf stage at the rate of 40-50 gallons pet aoe. This product is supplied in 44-gallon drums and 4 gallon tins and is intsod" for use by the commercial, grower and not for the home gardener. Pot at ion al Gracing a-. A lot has been said in the ways of rotation, but could you tell me what are gained by changing feeding grounds when the green grass is very short l» aU paddocks! . . e A. Benefits vary with the season of the year and with the nature and do* • stock carried. First, pastures grazed all the time have little chance to boup root development from which they can call on as a reserve. Second,*®® health is a problem and continual grazing on short pasture may increase ®* number 6f parasites. But one must be practical, and if there is a drought, then stock can only - scattered about. When the drought conditions pass, then allow pastute* * spell; they produce more if spelled and then grazed, rather than from tmual grazing. Some farmers only consider the animal and not the P®"’after all, the plant carries the animal, and should be considered. Two main points, then, from rotational grazing: 1.
