CLEARING PHORMIUM LAND
"New Settler";—ls it advisable to burn flax Jand after the crop has been removed, so as to destroy toitoi,raupo etc, or should other means of clearing the rubbish off be taken ?
If the land is of a peaty nature we should not advise burning to destroy this vegetation, especially if the land has been drained and is dry. Fire would probably take a strong hold and burn the best of the substance put of the ground. Jf the rubbish was chipped off and placed in. heaps it. could then he watched and burnt or- carted away, If the ground is not of a peaty nature it could be burned off in tl^e usual way.
