PEAS FOR CANNING
WAIROA POSSIBILITIES LIKELY MAORI FARMS The value of a sideline such as the growing of canning peas to the Wairoa district was stressed by Mr. R. P. Hill, Helds instructor in Northern Hawke’s Bay. There are some hundreds of acres of alluvial river flat in the northern district that should be excellent for the growing of peas, Mr. Hill said. The crop should be well adapted for cultivation on some of the smaller nanative holdings and with the large Maori population in the district, the supply of labour for picking the crop should not present a major problem There is more cropping being carried out this year in the Wairoa district than there has been at any other stage in its history.
