Farmers Must Stamp Oat Weed Menace
Ragwort and eupatorium are becoming a serious menace in the Whangarei county. In his report to the annual meeting of the Whangarel County Council today, the chairman, Mr J. A. S. MacK'ay, emphasised the need for stamping out the menace. “It is the duty of every land-owner or occupier to co-operate in stamping out the menace,” he said. “The council will continue to supply sodium chlorate at 25 per cent of cost price as an encouragement. Wo have to th'ank the Minister of Agriculture for his valued assistance in dealing with the menace in this county.
“It is to be hoped that the council’s representations to the Minister for continuation of the services of the assistant inspector may prove successful.”
