EXPERIMENTAL FARM NEEDED
“The time is coming when we are going to need an experimental farm to study management of hill country after nassella tussock has been brought under control,-’ the chairman of the North Canterbury Nassella Tussock Board (Mr T. G. Maxwell) said at a field day held by the board at Waiau. Mr W. F. Leonard, weeds research officer of the Department of Agriculture, touched on the point briefly. “There is a point to which you can go with small scale experiments and that is probably the point where the tussock has been killed. Frdm there the research on stock and pasture management cannot be done on small plots,” he said.
