LUCERNE ON PUMICE SOIL.
The photograph on the accompanying page illustrates the growth of lucerne on typical poor pumice country at the experimental plots of the Department at Lichfield, on the Rotorua line. The history of these plots was given in the Journal of last December. The larger sample illustrated. shows . the growth made between the 16th December and the 25th January of this season, or forty days. The lucerne was really ready for cutting in twenty-one days. The plot had been previously cut on the 16th December, and the lucerne made into hay. The smaller growth was from a plot sown on the 16th November, 1912, and the plants illustrated show two months’ growth from seeding.
