ALARM IN HAWKE’S BAY AT SPREAD OF . NODDING THISTLE
(P.A.) Hastings, Jan. 18. Alarm at the spread of nodding thistle in parts of the province was expressed at a meeting of the Hawke’s Bay provincial executive of Federated Farmers yesterday. It was agreed to approach the Hawke’s Bay County Council in an effort to have thistle declared a noxious weed. The fields instructor of the Department of Agriculture, Mr. R. P. Hill, wrote that the only practical method of control was by digging it out. The department was carrying out control tests on a number of thistles and weeds. Liquid sprays and hormone dusts were being used in tests and nodding thistle was included.
