PASTURE CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDED The pasture championship for 1938-39 has just been awarded to Mr J. A. Anderson of Carol Estate, Waiwera. Sown down four years ago with certified perennial rye grass and certified white clover, this pasture when judged in the spring and autumn presented a striking appearance. It was exceedingly well controlled and the health of both grasses and clovers was very noticeable Adeauate liming the sowing of certified strains of pasture seeds with fertiliser to ensure that the pasture got a good start, annual top-dressing with superphosphate together with efficient pasture management are some of the factors contributing to success. A point worth remembering, particularly in regard to the certified perennial rye grass, is that top-dressing with superphosphate and lime has been the means of greatly increasing the palatability of the herbage. It has also been found on this property t 4 fertiliser when supplied to high production swards pays handsomely.
