MORRINSVILLE NOTES
A draft of 3,000 breeding ewes from Poverty Bay is to be railed from Taneatua early next week to the order of several farmers In the Morrinsville district. The fame, of New Zealand's most noxious weed —ragwort—has travelled far. A Morrinsville resident has been showing his friends with pride a news item written by him and published in a London Weekly newspaper, headed, “Lear Little Ragwort. A Golden Friend Not Wanted,” which tells of the efforts of scientists to check the spread of ragwort by liberating the cinnabar moth. By a coincidence the paper has reached Morrinsville just when the weed is blossoming. The writer expects to be paid for his contribution, and he remarks that it is the only money Morrinsville people have made out of ragwort.
