AVhito clover lias saved tile situation in many pasture fields this season (says the Christchurch Press). There has been a great growth of the protracted drought, and, in sonic instances ,a very luxuriant crop has served to keep the sheep and lambs in prime condition. Owners of farms do not always favor white clover, but this season it has justified its existence 'to a remarkable extent, and pioved invaluable when nearly every other pasture plant and glass have shown weakness, if not complete failure. In the days of early settlement white clover was abundant on every clearing, but in recent years it had greatly disappeared. Its reappearance in the nick of time has been indeed fortunate, for it is holding its own in fields where the absence of moisture from water-races is complete and in paddocks where subsoil moisture is a minus quantity.
