Dry weather this autumn lias given farmers an opportuinity of burning off gorse, which continues to be a pest in the Wanganui district (remarks the Herald). Unfortunately, burning, though it retards much of the plant’s groivth, does not completely cheek it, and effective cutting and grubbing is an expensive business. Lately there has been a lot of burning going on on. gorse-covered hills. There are many blackened patches where the inflammable scrub has been cut.
