The use of sodium chlorate in the destruction of ragwort is of more than casual interest, as the pest has increased rather seriously this last year or two in some of the dairying districts. That sodium chlorate is an effective destroyer has been proved, hut very little evidence is available as to the cost, Naturally, this aspect is of importance, as the splaying must be done on all economic basis to be of value, When asked for particulars in regard to the cost, Mr I?. McGillivray, Fields Superintendent, Christchurch, gave details of the application of the spray at Waimangu Experimental Farm, on the West Coast, where careful records records of the cost have been kept. The work was not complete, but the interim results were instructive. On various fields where ragwort was fairly prominent from 161 bto 151 bof sodium chlorate was found necessary to complete the spraying. The cost ot the chlorate ranged from 4s 2d to Os 3d per acre, and the cost of labour, at Ids per day, amounted to about 4s per acre, or a total cost of from 8s 2d to 10s 3d per acre. On one very badly infested field about 201 b of sodium chlorate, at a cost of 8s 4d per acre, was required, and labour cost 9s, or a total of 17s per acre. The last-men-tioned field was badly infested with the weed. The results from the spraying have been a complete kill of the ragwort.
