BUSH-SICK COUNTRY
EXPERIMENTAL WORK LOOKING FOR~THE CAUSE. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 24. The problem of bush-sick country is engaging the attention of the Government, and the Hon. O. J. Hawken (Minister for Agriculture) expresses satisfaction with the experimental work which is being carried out at the Agricultural Department’s Experimental Farm at Mamaku. The Minister, who visited the farm this week, stated last evening that the Empire Marketing Board in London had offered to assist New Zealand in connection with research work into the mineral content of pastures. Bush sickness, he said, was considered by the department to be caused througn lack of iron in pastures. “It is very probable that a good deal of experimental work will be done during the next year or two in conjunction with the Empire Marketing Board,’’ said the Minister.
