CERTIFIED RYEGRASS
Use in North Auckland On a farni in the Ruawai district the value of certified ryegrass is well exemplifled. In two fielis alougside each other a pasture mlxturi was soivn down four years ago. One was sown with certified ryegrass in the mixture, tho other with Canterbury seed, non-certified. The two fields have received practically the same treatment. The paddock in which the certified ryegrass was sown now possesses the desirable ryegrass-white elover pasture, with suflieient but not too much paspalum. The other possesses little ryegrass, is paspalum-dominant, which grows rank and is inclined to smother the white clover. Thus it appears that on such alluvial clay soils, to obtain that essential . type of pasture so desirable and also so highly productive in North Auckland, certified ryegrass must be used^ -f- Journal of Agriculture.
