FLUSHING OF EWES
The merits of rape, turnips, pasture, and lucerne for flushing ewes before tupping were canvassed at some length when 60 members of Mayfield Federated Farmers Inspected Mr D. H. Warren’s property this week. There appeared to be fairly general agreement with the view of Mr B. J. Ryde, of Lincoln, that “you must have something,” but Mr C. P. Whatman, senior advisory officer for the Department of Agriculture at Ashburton, commented that, if this was so, then there should not have been any lambs at all two years ago.
His reference was quickly appreciated by the farmers, for on that occasion, there was no green growth available on which to flush ewes, yet there was an excellent lambing the following spring.
