A NITROGEN STRIP.—One Canterbury farmer is carrying out an experiment of his own. Ulis autumn he put 63 units of nitrogen in the form of 3cwt of nitrolime to the acre over one drill width in each of 15 or 16 paddocks on his property. Everywhere the response, as picked out in this aerial photograph taken early in June, has been striking, even in what has been regarded as a growthy season. The response at this stage is characterised by greater growth and recovery after grazing, a much better colour, less effect of frost, and very much greater size and vigour of the clover component in the pasture. Now he awaits with interest the effect in the spring.
