Pasture Research Aims at Soil Based Irrigation Study
An experimental program led by the Departmental officer and wing mobile Machinery unit at Nu amurkeh will run a full cycle from preparation to harvest.

Powder makes water wetter for firefighting units
The Forestry Commission announced a powder that mixes with water to make it wetter and will be standard gear for all commissioned firefighting teams. Used by country units last summer, it spray-mists on burning timber, penetrating charcoal to reach the flame. Assistant fire protection officer E D Gill said it cuts water use to a third in forest fires and reduces smouldering stump outbreaks, with 2 lb packets costing about 4/6.
