This splendid crop of oats shows what can be done in pure sand. The crop, which stands about five feet high, was grown by a wellknown North Auckland farmer. The sand was mulched with lupins, bundles of which were placed beneath the surface and covered over. Lucerne was also sown between the rows of oats.
