RUAKURA FARM
SYSTEMATIC AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
The Ruakura Farm of Instruction will play an important part in the Government’s plan for systematic agricultural research. Definite spheres of work have already been allocated to Massey and Lincoln Agricultural Colleagues, Cawthron Institute, the Plant Research Stations at Palmerston North and Lincoln, the Wheat Research Institute, Wallaceville Veterinary Station and other research laboratories; and the work of all institutions is being co-ordinated by the Plant and Animal Bureau. To facilitate the rapid and complete investigation of many farm problems that are of particular importance to Auckland farmers the Ruakura Farm of Instruction is being brought into the research system. The farm is now equipped to carry out research work for the northern portion of the North Island just as Massey College, with its Plant Research Station and Dairy Research Institute, serves the southern portion of the Island. Ruakura is now the experimental station for the Auckland province.
