CARROTS FOR STOCK
A splendid crop of carrots scon on a Hawke's Bay farm recently prompted an inquirv as to whether the farmer found them highly satisfactory. His reply was that he had formed the opinion, that it definitely pays to grow a small area of th'H crop. Carrots require considerable attention in the way of cultivation and thinning, but if it were not for the extra labour involved and the impossibility of securing suitably labour he felt the- crop would be grown far more extensively. All stork is partial to carrots. A similar view* was expressed recently bv a prominent Taranaki farmer, .who had also grown a small area of sugar beet as well as carrots, swedes and mangolds. He found that both the cattle and the pigs ate th" red carrots first in preference to either of the other root crops and when the carrot* were gone they turned to the sugar beet.
