Kikiyu Grass in North
Concern at the menace to Northland pastures created by the planting of kikiyu grass by the Public Works Department is expressed in the annual report of the Whangarei Agriculture and Pastoral Society. The report states that the executive had taken up the matter with the Minister of Public Works and the Minister had stated that the grass would not be further planted on roadsides, but its use was to be continued on sand dune reclamation. The report states that this grass, which was introduced from South Africa some years ago, has already ruined several hundreds of acres of •good pasture land.
