Agricultural notes urge seed variety planning for drought regions
The Chief Inspector of Agriculture reports that severe drought reduced harvests last year forcing farmers to seek seed from other districts. Federation varieties proved imperfect for north western areas due to rust. early maturing types were scarce in dry zones. Despite a favorable season, risk remains and farmers should secure suitable seed now via department trials, private growers, and marketplace listings to ensure next season’s supply. The department will publicize pure, ready-for-sale seed sources and limit allocations to ensure fair distribution while encouraging use of farmer’s own seed where needed.

Seaweed Used as Manure in Island Agriculture
Seaweed is widely used as manure in the Channel Islands and elsewhere. It is cut from rocks or gathered on shores, carted to fields, and spread like farmyard manure. Used on pastures it boosts palatability for stock, while on cultivated land it is often left on the surface to wash nutrients into soil. It is sometimes dried or burned for ashes, and often mixed with farmyard manure for winter and early spring application.

Poultry Disease Prevention and Sanitation Rules
The Poultry Bureau of the Department of Agriculture notes a cure for corydiosis is unknown, so prevention is the only solution. Use thorough cleaning, rest the flock, spray brooder life surfaces with a formaldehyde solution, and avoid surface exposure to weather. Remove sick birds, keep coops clean, and replace soil with clean material to reduce the risk of infection. Maintain separation from other stock during preventative measures.
