LUCERNE.
(To the Editor of the Herald.) Sir, — During a diy season like the present, when dairymen find their milk sup- . ply failing daily, it behoves them to give a trial to a fodder plant which will withstand a much drier season than we are ever likely to experience m Poverty Bay. I refer to lucerne, which can, 1 feel satisfied, be. grown to advantage on a large portion of the Hals here. As an ounce of example is worth a ton of precept, I would recommleii/d those interested to . pay a visit to Mr Hyde's (just across the Patutahi ford), when they will see a crop which ought to convince them, if . anything can. The crop referred to ha.s been laid down for several years, and , is evidently firmly established. Tlie writer has had some experience m the j growing of lucerne, and will be very pleased to place any information m his , power ait the disposal of any farmer who may wish for it. — I a.m. etc.. J. B. KELLS.
