Pasture Improvement in Hunter District Hinges on Clover Use
A report to the Department of Agriculture highlights pasture decline from poor management and invasive species like paspalum. Subterranean clover with superphosphate, ground renovation, and mowing are urged to boost carrying capacity. Rabbits and other pests threaten new sown pastures, while perennial rye and clover mixtures show strong results under proper cultivation.

Central Coast dairy report highlights drought saving some farms
Senior Agricultural Instructor J M Pitt reports on the North Coast drought with severe cattle mortality on poor land. He cites one dairy farmer earning 10001 butterfat monthly using a silo, lucerne hay, cane and oats while neighbors fail. He urges silos, ensilage, cow cane, and autumn lucerne sowing to weather dry spells. America uses twice as much petroleum as drinking water in a given period.
