NOVEL SUGGESTION
A novel method of encouraging farmers to clear their farms of ragwort was suggested at the Kaitieke County Council’s monthly meeting when one councillor remarked that if the council were to advertise that they would be turning on 50 gallons of beer, but only for farmers whose properties were clear of the weed, the ragwort would soon disappear. REFRIGERATORS FOR FARMS A suggestion that an enterprising inventor should market a cheaply-run refrigerator for use on farms was made by Mr F. McDonald at the annual meeting of the Hikurangi Dairy Company. “What we want is a refrigerator for keeping our cream while it is awaiting collection,” he said. “This is a good opportunity for some enterprising person to market such a machine, which would go further to improve the quality of cream than anything else.” Mr McDonald’s suggestion was supported by a number of suppliers.
