BELATED GERMINATION
SPECIAL SOWING OF OATS. A Mid-Otago farmer has had personal experience of an occurrence the like of which he had read about and accepted with a grain of salt. Eighteen months ago he went to special pains and some extra expense over a sowing of outs with a particular seed of which he had high expectations. To his severe disappointment these oats did not appear. Alter waiting for them as long as he could he reploughed and resowed the same paddock with ordinary oats. These came up, but in consequence of drought produced only what he calls ‘‘a half-pie crop,” which he cut for feed. Then after the recent copious rains (the heaviest for three years), the special oats began to show, and they have come on well. Tho facts are not merely interesting, but may help some farmers who are groping for guidance.
