If he is a benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, by what name shall we call the man who" makes 3ft of succulent fodder grow where previously there lay a barren waste? This has been done, and the man who knows has come to tell us how. The plant is lucerne, and the man is Mr A. Macpherson, fields instructior of the Agricultural Department, Christchurch. Under the auspices of the Otago Expansion League Mr Macpherson will address a meeting in the board room of the New Zealand Express Company's Buildings tomorrow, at 8 o'clock. The league invite all ladies and gentlemen who are interested or who are willing to be interested to attend the meeting, and learn how this excellent plant can be grown, and to what a magnificent extent it can assist our primal industries. From the suburban gardens to the sheep runs its potentialities are available. Men who dream of going on the land have the opportunity of learning from an- expert how to realise their dreams.
