SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER
The Fields Superintendent, Palmerston North, reports that a poor, light property, of under 400 acres, near Ongaonga, Hawke’s Bay, previously carried 450 ewes, and, with the assistance of 20 acres of rape and 30 acres of swedes, the owner managed to get most of the surplus stock off fat by the middle of June. He has been introducing subterranean clover during the last six years in mixtures, and now runs two ewes to the acre and fattens all surplus stock before the subterranean clover dries up in summer. One paddock of 30 acres sown with a very heavy proportion of subterranean clover carried 150 ewes and lambs last season, and it is stated they could not “hold” the growth.
