NOT ALL ROSES
When Professor A. H. Flay, head of the farm management and rural valuation department at Canterbury Agricultural College, was describing this week the greatly improved feed position on Ashley Dene this winter, Mr H. E. Garrett, reader in farm management, sounded a note of warning that Canterbury farmers might not be in quite as good a position as it might seem. He suggested that any time now those farmers who had not been diligent In their use of D.D.T. might wake up to find that they had a plaster of grass grub and porina damage. They would find that their knee-deep grass would just scrape off. he said. And Mr Garrett’s second point was tjiat as the winter had not really started till the last week of May the season was likely to have a tail. The prospect might well be for a poorish spring.
