THE WEEK
WEATHER DURING MAY For the greater part of May the weather continued to be favourable for farming operations, said the director (Professor E. R. Hudson) in a report to the Board of Governors of Canterbury Agricultural College, Lincoln, yesterday. Rainfall amounted to 424 points, bringing the total for the first five months of the year to 9.56 inches. All autumn-sown crops are well established and greenfeed areas have given an abundance of feed. Pastures have continued to make good growth up to the present time, and m this respect the season has been unusually favourable. The recently experienced heavy frosts will now undoubtedly bring such growth to a standstill until the spring. Stock have reflected the favourable seasonal conditions and have given no trouble. Drainage systems established during recent years are all functioning in a highly satisfactory manner, and consequently the recent heavy rains have not resulted in the land becoming water-logged. The existing high productivity of the farm is due in large measure to these works.
