THE WEEK IN OTAGO. It has been cold during the week in Otago, with some snow and frost in the Central. Generally, the spring is a very late one, though the week-end was very pleasant. BURNSIDE MARKET. The attendance at Burnside was comparatively sinai lon Wednesday, but there was no lack of fat stock, both sheep and cattle being forward in fair numbers. In the fat cattle section some 260, compared with 250 the previous week, were submitted for sale by auction. The quality generally was good, comprising some wellfinished bullocks of average weight, together with a sprinkling of prime cows and heifers. Some plain steers were also included. The opening demand was very fair at about 15s under last sale’s rates, and values held at about this figure throii'diout the sale, beef of primest quality realising up to 56s per 1001 b. The supply of fat sheep was good, 2110 (2276 the previous week), and comprised all qualities, inclusive of a very fair proportion of heavy wethers and prime ewes, also some fine-wool wethers. The demand was at no time brisk, and heavy sheep declined in value 2s 6d to 3s per head, medium sheep being par to Is lower. Some passings occurred at times. Butchers wethers sold to 6]<l per lb. The two spring lambs penned (three last sale) were of better quality, and made 41s and 48s 6d per head, lamb making around Is 3d per lb. The entry of store cattle was not impressive, comprising as it did medium cows, young mixed cattle, and some 20 medium ballot ks. There was, however, a capital clearance at very firm rates, medium three-year-old steers making to £l3 12s 6d and two and a-half-year-old do. to £9 7s. while mixed young cattle sold to £7. Eighty-three fat pigs and 109 stores evoked good bidding, but porkers and baconers were back 5s per head, the former making to 8d and bacon sorts io BAd per lb. « 9

DAIRY FACTORIES. PARETAI. The annual report of the Paretai Factory stated that the quantity of milk received for the season was 5.835.6971 b, containing 220,9331 b of butter-fat. Cheese to the total of 257-i tons was made, a 40-ton increase on last season’s make. The average test of the milk received was 3.78. After providing for balance due on milk purchased at Is 7d ner lb butter-fat. and for depreciation and all outstanding accounts, the net profit was £1394 Is 4d, including £B9O 12s 9d balance from the previous ’ year. The directors recommended that £5OO be placed to reserve, and that a dividend of 6 per cent, be paid on the paid-up capital at July 31. 1929. The two retiring directors (Messrs Peter Dippie and William Sutherland) were reelected unopposed. The remuneration of the directors as a body was fixed at £5O, as before. A proposal by Mr G. Sinclair to give a bonus of £lO to the chairman was declined. COUNTRY STOCK SALES. GORE. The fortnightly stock sale was held at Gore on Thursday before a small attendance of farmers, due, no doubt, to the fact that lambing is in full swing in the district. Few fats were offering, and there was a depreciation in prices, and several lots failed to change hands. Wethers made from 32s to 38s 6d. while ewes realised from 26s to 35s 6d. In the store section only a few pens were offering. Failing ewes made 23s 3d and wether hoggets 17s. The bulk of the entry was passed in. FARMERS’ UNION ORGANISING. A well-attended meeting of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union was held at Portobello on September 21, when some 20 farmers were present to hear an address by Mr W. R. Harris, Dominion organiser. on the constitution and activities of the union. Mr Harris dealt with a large number of questions affecting the farming community, but the principal business of the evening was the formation of a branch or sub-branch of the union at Portobello. Mr J Cross was appointed chairman of the meeting, and after some discussion it was decided to form a committee of the Dunedin branch, to be known as the Portobello Committee. The following men were unanimously elected to the newly-formed committee:—

Messrs W. D. Allan (chairman), J. Cross. T. Landreth, G. A. Smith, F. Pitts, R. MLelland, J. Black, R. Douglas, and D M Gregor Reid. The new committee will call meetings at convenient dates, when questions of interest to farmers will come up for discussion. At the close of the meeting light supper was handed round and much appreciated by those present. 1929-30 WOOL SEASON.

CLYDESDALES. Clydesdale foals are to appear in Otago, two of Mr James W Blair’s (Outram) mares having foaled during the week. The mare Abbotsford Queen II (2564), by Brilliant Chief (1103) has a nice filly foal by Victory (1706). and Abbotsford Wattle (2566) by Brilliant Chief, has at foot a colt foal by Victory. Messrs Muir, Hardington Mains, Wiston, have sold their two-year-old entire colt. Sir William Wallace, to Mr Stenhouse, South Gyle, for Mr Kettle. New Zealand, the price being 200gns. This excellent Clydesdale obtained the first prize at the Glasgow open show in June last, and second at the Highland Society’s Show in Edinburgh. [The foregoing is an excerpt from the North British Agriculturist of August 11, 1869. and appeared in the August issue, 1929.] STUD STOCK EXPORTS. The export of stud stock from New Zealand is principally sheep and cattle. In these days of mechanised traffic horses are a diminishing quantity, the shipments overseas during the last four years being 1926, 42. value £13.895; 1927, 31, value £4523; 1928. 44. value £12.110; 1929 (six months), 5, value £245. Pedigree pigs are occasionally <*xported, but in very small numbers—four, valued at £B4, in 1926 seven valued at £ll5 in 1928, and 17 valued at £127 during the first half of this year. The exports of stud sheep and cattle during the last four years have been:—

1 he breeds of stud or pedigree sheep exported from New Zealand are Corriedales, Romneys, Border Leicesters, Lincoins, Southdowns, merinos, and Ryelands. The Corriedale, a purely New Zealand breed, can to-day claim to be the most popular breed of sheep exported In Australia, particularly, the breed has gained a strong position, and there is now an Australian Corriedale Sheep Breeders' Society, issuing its own flock book. AL the Hocks registered were, of course, founded with importations from New Zealand flocks. To-day the Corriedak takes second place in Australia to the merino, and is superior, for Australian conditions, to all British breeds of sheep. South Australia is the Dominion’s principal market for Corriedale sheep to-day. Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and Chili, the finer wool sheep districts of South America, find the Corriedale particularly suited for their conditions, and some of the bigger estancias have imported in the one year as many as 100 stud Corriedale rams. If shipping facilities were better, and the high freight costs could be reduced—ships have to be specially chartered to carry the annual shipments to the southern parts of South America), this trade could be greatly extended, as the demand is limited alone through the high cost of transit. The Argentine and Uruguay are both consistent buyers of Cori-iedales, and secure generally sheep of high standard, perhaps individually of a higher class than those going to the far south. Peru latterly has shown an interest in this breed, also, and a shipment will again be made to that country tins year. In addition to private enterprise, the Peruvian Government has also established a stud flock. The United States is another country which has been an importer over a Jong term of years. Corriedales have also been sent 'to South Africa, East Africa, and Kenya Colony

So far. few, if any. Corriedales have been sent direct from New Zealand to Japan, but the latter country has made a number of purchases in Australia, while Russia has also secured sheep from the Commonwealth.

J he second on the list of stud stock exported is the Romney breed. The type bred in New Zealand to-day is very much different from the original Romney of Kent, England. The New Zealand type is provided for by a much lower-set sheep, very thick and broad in the back, square and thick in the hindquarters, and eveniy covered all over with a medium quality, soft handling, well crimped wool. The New Zealand Romney may be termed a dual purpose sheep, having a splendid mutton carcass, and a valuable fleece of wool. At one time, the Falkland Islands and Patagonia were regular customers for Romneys, but it must be admitted that the Corriedalc has taken away a considerable portion of the trade from the southern parts of South America, which was formerly enjoyed by Romiiey breeders. On the other hand, Argentine and Uruguay, and to ar. extent Patagonia, still buy New Zealand Romneys Australia has again come into the market, and some of the highest-priced sheep produced in the Dominion have been sold for export to that country. New South Wales, in particular, has been an excellent customer AYRESHIRES IN THE STATES. That Ayrshire cattle are in keen demand in the United States is shown by the report of the sale of 30 animals recently imported from Scotland and 26 Americanbred youngsters. The 56 head, ten of which were young bulls, made an average of 808.00dol. or. roughly. £l6l. The top price was £lO6O. paid by Mr W L. Glatfelter, for Netherton Valentine, an eight-year-old cow. bred by Messrs T. and A. Clement, late of Netherton. Newton Mearns. The second highest price, £660. was also paid by the same buyer for Barr Honey, bred by Messrs A. and A Kirkpatrick. Barr. Sanquhar. The 26 young animals bred locally, sold well. Eight young bulls averaged £ll4. the lowest being £6O. five calves and two yearlings averaged £146, and five yearlings £l4l. and six calves under one year £96. MANAWATU’S SPRING SHOW. Once again the time conies when the premier stock show of the Dominion is held, and after over 40 years none can dispute the claim of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association to the title. No association has the same excellent accommodation for stock nor the same facilities for handling it, and. after all, this is what the farmer looks for when he is considering sending his pedigree animals away for exhibition. The prize money in cash totals over £lBOO. while in addition to that there are 40 cups valued at £l3OO, besides 50 gold medals distributed among the various sections. There are classes for home industries, needlework, photography, pedigree stock, and school work. Write to the secretary. Mr W T. Penny. P.O. Box 85, Palmerston North, for your schedule now. ' JOTTINGS. The growth of grass in Otago at this time of the year has rarely been slower, the continual cold wintry blasts, with hail, neutralising the work of the few sunny hours experienced daily. A shipment of /Ayrshire cattle bought by the Prince of Wales for his ranch in Alberta has been refused entry to Canada in accordance with an order prohibiting the admittance of cattle and sheep from Scotland owing to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.

Drastic action was taken by the Executive Committee of the Whangarei A. and P. Society at a recent meeting (says the Advocate) when it was decided to cancel the membership of several persons against whom legal action had to be taken to collect their fees.

Heavy losses of sheep are reported in the Scone district (N.S.W.) following the torrential rains and the cold change. Many small flocks have been almost wiped out. A conservative estimate of the losses is 30,000. The sheep were newly shorn. The severity of the weather caused the death of many birds. Fat sheep values eased appreciably at Burnside on Wednesday, but prices of fat cattle were wonderfully high, despite some buying outside and a fair yarding. The fact is that there is no feed to speak of lithe country, and butchers are compelled to buy locally, while Addington supplies lately have been meagre. No North Is land beef was landed here during the week. Two hundred and forty guineas was the price at which a Suffolk ram lamb from the flock of Messrs Ewer and Pawsey. of Foxearth, Ipswich. England, was sold. Messrs Ewer and Pawsey’s lamb was the winner of the Venning Challenge Cup at the Royal Show. The price given was ten guineas more than was paid for the top-price lamb at the sale last year.

Great interest was taken in the first wool sale for the season in Australia opened in Adelaide. It was evident that the prices bid were generally equal to the anticipations of brokers as a large percentage of the offering of more than 27,000 bales was sold. The market appears to be from 25 to 30 per cent, down on rates ruling there 12 months ago. A tour of the South Island, covering about 1500 miles of rail travel, at a total cost of about £2l or £22, was suggested (says the Poverty Bay Herald) for the consideration of Poverty Bay farmers for next summer by Mr A. M’Neil, business agent of the Railways Department, in an address to the Farmers’ Union executive the other morning. The delivery of bread by aeroplane is now an accomplished fact, according to a communication received from the Australian Aerial Service, Ltd. The consignment was probably a trial lot, some 200 loaves, but the fact that a consignment of “ Dale ” bread left Melbourne at 7.30 a.m., arriving at Hay, in the Riverina. at 11.15 a.m., still hot, speaks for itself. What next?

It is said that Denmark recognises three classes of farmers : (1) the farmer on horseback—the man, say, of 1000 acres; (2) the farmer with the walking stick—i.e., the man, say, of 500 acres;

and (3) the farmer with the hoc —i.e., the man, say, of 50 to 100 acres. The policy of Denmark is to eliminate the first, extend and greatly increase the number of the third, and keep the second about stationary. Messrs Flack and Gamble, of Berwick, X ictoria. propose to send a number of their Duioc Jersey pigs to the Hay Show (which is being held on October 2 and 3) by aeroplane, and Australian Aerial Services. Ltd., are refitting the sevenseater machine Love Bird to accommodate the animals. It is possible that arrangements will also be made for these exhibits to be flown to Geelong, Werribee. and other agricultural centres, during October. Two further land deals were reported from Gisborne last week, one affecting the Anotlra Station, of 5000 acres, being part of the F. Hall Estate, with f)000 sheep and SOO eattic, the ,trice paid for Native bases, stock, and improvements being £40,000. The other is a freehold property of 1500 acres at Tolaga Bay, which changed hands at £lO per acre.

At a meeting of the Dairy Board a cablegram from London was read. The message stated that Mr Singleton (director of the dairy division), who had now left London, had made an exhaustive examination of the cheese stores, and had expressed satisfaction with the conditions ruling. Satisfactory storage contracts had been negotiated in Bristol. The actual sale® of butter samples for the financial year ended July 31 were £235,828, compared with £100,189 last year. “ While each year the importance of herd-testing has been stressed, I am sorry to say that the dairy farmers in Canterbury are rather lax in this matter,” said Mr J. W. Kime, chairman of directors of the Central Dairy Company, Ltd., in addressing the shareholders at the annual meeting (says the Christchurch Times). When suppliers did not care to join the local Herd Testing Association, the company was willing to test suppliers’ herds, he added. One had only to read of the big strides made in the North Island in butter-fat returns per cow or per herd by the general adoption of herd testing and the top-dressing manures to prove thjir advantage.

I think dairying is the coming thing in this district. It is about the only thing about which there is any certainty, at any rate; and if we present the cup for the cattle section it will be giving a lead in the right direction.” This opinion (reports the Express) was expressed by the chairman (Mr W. H. Gane) when the Blenheim Farmers’ Union recently decided to suggest that the jubilee cup which the Farmers’ Union branches are giving to the Marlborough A. and P. Association be devoted to the milking classes in the cattle section of the show.

Reference to the serious position in which the New Zealand pork industry would be placed if the “ fishy ” flavour could not be quickly eradicated was made by Mr J. F. Makgill, chairman of directors of the Auckland Farmers’ Freezing Company, Ltd., at the annual meeting of shareholders. Mr Makgill’s remarks (says our special correspondent) were supported by Mr 11. Johnstone, who advanced the theory that the flavour was due to clover. It was well known to many breeders and butchers that if pigs were taken off clover and killed immediately the pork was of an objectionable flavour. In Mr Johnstone’s opinion that was the cause of the recent trouble.

While it was officially estimated in June that 2.585,000 bales of wool would be sold in Australia this season, Winchcombe. Carson. Ltd., stated that, in view of the lack of rain in drought-affected areas, that estimate was not likely to be realised. The sheep industry, the firm adds, certainly had responded admirably to the encouragement provided by good returns from -wool, as in 10 years Australian production had increased by approximately 800.000 bales. The standard of the sheep pastured had been improved by the use of good-class stud stock. A return to high prices for wool looked most improbable, but Winchcombe, Carson, Ltd., hold the opinion that the clip was likely to find a ready sale at prices on the opening basis of the sales just held.

Several purchases of prize-winning stock were made throughout the Highland Show at Alloa. The Aberdeen-Angus reserve male champion Black Mahdi of Bleaton exhibited by Mr Charles Mackay, Balnastraid, Carr Bri.lge, was sold for lOOOgns to Sir James Murdoch, K.8.E., Sydney. Australia, who is starting a herd, and intends using his purchase as the foundation sire. Black Mahdi, a two-year-old April bull, was bred at Bleaton, and was acquired by Mr Mackay at Perth spring sales for 410gns when he was fourth in his class. The second prize two-year-old bull. Judas of Southburn, belonging to Sir Prince Prince-Smith. Bart., Southburn House. Driffield, was also sold at a high figure for exportation. When a deputation from th Wellington Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals waited on the Minister of Agriculture (Mr G. W. Forbes) with reference to the “ bobby ” calf business, D. Reakes, Director-general of Agriculture, 3aid the age limit of five days was being much more rigidly enforced this year, and the conditions generally had been much improved. The trade had been given a lot >f attention by the department. Every effort wae made to have calves dealt with is quickly as possible, and everything was done to sec that they went through the minimum of ifferii.g. The Minister said he was sure the officers of the department would cooperate with the society to see that no cases of cruelty occurred. The whole question would be investigated.

Tn connection with a paragraph published in the Daily Times of Wednesday stating that dairy farmers in South Taranaki were experiencing trouble with a cattle disease in the nature of spinal paralysis, Mr R. T. Sadd states that he had similar trouble some years ago with some Jersey cows on his farm. One was a veryvaluable Jersey, and about three weeks before it was due to calve it lay down and could not get up again. A neighbour came along and suggested a remedy for the complaint, and as it turned out it proved an entirq.lv successful remedy. The following is the recipe which was made up: —Boz linseed oil, Boz spirits of turpentine. 4oz aqua ammonia. 4oz tincture of iodine. Mix, shake well, and rub into the back of the animals about three times a day. In the case of Mr Sadd’s cow it was on its feet again the day after the treatment was started, thoroughly well. The mixture does not burn the skin of the animal or hurt it in any way.

The outlook ahead for increasing the production of our major commodities by the adoption of modern scientific practice is good, but the same can also be said with regard to most of our competitors, stated Dr C. J. Reakes in Wellington recently. Increase of production alone will not put New Zealand agriculture on an assured basis. With increasing output, quality becomes more and more essential, and there is apparently a tendency towards a lag in this respect on the pai; of the primary producer. With many commodities, such as meat and wool, quality can only be improved ’ y the farmer nimself, ■and the fact is fully recognised. In our dairying industry, however, improvement in quality is too often viewed as a responsibility of the butter and cheese maker. Skilful manipulation and manufacture can often work wonders with in*

terior raw materials, but perfection ot quality can never be obtained. A milk supply improved in purity can, therefore, be viewed as one of the main requirements in the dairy industry, and this is clearly in the hands of the farmer himself.

Commenting upon tariffs generally, the Melbourne Argus writes: “ A little more than a year ago New Zealand lost a valuable preference on butter when the duty was increased , to 6d per lb at the request of Australian dairy farmers. The Dominion also suffered when its potatoes were excluded from the Commonwealth because of the prevalence of disease. Now onion growers wish to take away the few remaining privileges which New Zealand has under the treaty. There is little to lie gained by such an impost because the quantity of onions sent from New Zealand to Australian markets is comparatively small, and growers in Victoria are often able to make shipments to New Zealand A prohibitive duty would undoubtedly lead to retaliation by New Zealand merchants. who have already contrived to hamper trade in Australian potatoes. Heavy import duties against other countries are dangerous at all times, and when there is an outward trade in the commodity on which a substantial duty is levied, it usually’ means that the business lost through ill-will is greater than that gained by protecting the home market. Buyers are freely offering Bgd per lb, f.0.b., for output to the end of December, but this scarcely meets the values of directors, who are asking 83d. It is reported that the Edendaie Dairy Factory Company has disposed of its output to th-? .end of April at B£d. f.0.b.. white waxed cheese being specified. As a result o f a meeting held in Invercargill recently, efforts will be made in different disu icas to adopt group selling, but it is doubtful if any practical move will be made in this direction during the present season. “ I find it exceedingly difficult to get hold of any workers suitable for country jobs,” said Mr A. L. Adamson, secretary of the Southland executive of the Farmers* Union, when discussing unemployment at the monthly meeting on Saturday. He said that there were plenty of applications for work in town, but very few of the unemployed -were prepared to go into the country to work. A member: “ What are they suitable for, then?” Mr Adamson: “ I 'leave that to you to form your own opinion.” A voice: “Can they work a knife and fork?”

Arrangements are progressing very satisfactorily in connection with the tour of British farmers to New Zealand. From the Mother Country the number of farmers is strictly limited to 40, and 30 have definitely booked. There may he several lady farmers, while other ladies in the party will be the wives and daughters. All who are able to go are keen about the visit. There are very representative farmers among them, and there is every prospect of the whole of the British Isles being fairly well covered. Several Scottish farmers will be going, and there is the possibility of some from Ireland. Lord Bledisloe is one of the outstanding personalities in British agri culture; Mr John Crawford (Herts) is a prominent personality in connection with the English Farmers’ Union. A Scottish lady farmer will be Mrs Russell Ferguson, of Appin, Argyllshire, who is well known in the pig industry. Already farmers and friends in New Zealand have written letters Home extending a hearty welcome to the travellers. Everyone on both sides realises fully the benefit of personal acquaintance and the usefulness that results from such tours.

During the week the numbers of calves coming forward have been much larger, and to Tuesday last, approximately 3700 had been handled in Southland compared with about 4900 up to the same date last year. It is debatable whether the falling off is due to the fact that farmers are keeping moi*e calves for their own requirements or whether the season is later than

was the case last year. It is more than probable that the lateness of the season is responsible for the decrease as a comparison from day to day of intakes would indicate that the season is fully -a week or 10 days later than last year. The first shipment of Southland veal leaves Bluff by the Rotorua, due to sail on September 25 or 26, and will comprise about 35 tons. The hide market hae shown indications through the week of a hardening tendency, and it is quite possible that future sales will be made on a higher basis than earlier in the season. Of the Southland output there remain approximately 11,000 skins to dispose of. Reports from operators in the North Island indicate that larger numbers are being handled there, and it appears that their season will be bigger than last year.

A parasite of the white-fly, or ghostfly, was mentioned at a meeting of the Christchurch " Tomato and Stone-fruit Growers’ Association on Saturday evening (says the Christchurch Times). Mr J. Campbell, director of the horticulture division of the Agricultural Department, wrote stating that the parasite, a chalcid, named Enearsia formosa, was bred in specially heated houses .in England for distribution to nurseries early in the season, and was proving very successful. Mr Campbell added: “In suggesting that the department should investigate the matter, the inference is that your members are seriously troubled with this pest in their tomato and glasshouse crops. On this point I would be glad of information, as, speaking generally, this pest is not giving much trouble to my knowledge in other parts of the country.” Mr G. E. Billson said that he had seen the white-fly outside of glasshouses. He had been informed that the parasite, at Home, was effective in controlling the pest. There was no doubt that the introduction of parasites was a means of fighting insect pests. Members said that the white-fly was troublesome in Canterbury, attacking beans as well as tomatoes. It was decided to ask Mr Campbell to have some of the parasites introduced.
