NEW ZEALAND SEEDS AT JOHANNESBURG
South African farmers are particularly interested in the quality grass and clover seeds displayed in the New Zealand pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition at Johannesburg. Many of them have been given samples to plant on their farms in an endeavour to improve the quality of South African grass. "South African grass is worthless and the wrong sheep are bred for meat purposes,” said Mr M. O'Brien, the New Zealand Commissioner. • Farmers in the Union have requested me to arrange for stud sheep to be imported to South Africa."
