CURRENT FARM WORK Some farmers have complained that clover is showing signs of a mouldy rot. This condition is largely seasonable and the only practicable treatment is to keep hare grazed and allow the sun to get at the crowns. Watch lucerne stands for the first signs of new shoots at the base of the plant. As soon as these appear is the time for the first cut. Top dressing should follow immediately. The spell of wet weather will show up the low spots on your cultivated paddocks. Trenching and draining these now may save the crop later. . Dept, of Agriculture, Gisborne
