Charming Tribute to Mothers Moves Readers Like Barbara

Salt treatment urged to kill nut grass patches
A farmer asks about nut grass in a paddock and the Department of Agriculture advises sterilising soil with coarse salt at about 6 tons per acre. This renders soil unproductive for years unless heavy irrigation washes out the salt. Spraying with sodium chlorate and arsenical mixtures is ineffective unless large quantities are used to sterilise soil. Nut grass has underground bulbs that are hard to reach with light sprays.

Birds Knocked West by Heavy Frosts in Yass District
In the Yass district severe frosts have caused heavy mortality among kookaburras and other birds. Local theory blames starvation as ground frost hardens soil, preventing surface feeding while worms retreat to deeper, colder depths. Bird populations have declined over the past three to four weeks, a pattern possibly mirrored in higher areas with frost.
