BUSH-SICK PASTURES
GOVERNMENT SEEKING REMEDY? By Telegraph.—Preas Association. Auckland, Last Night. The problem of bush-sick country is en* gaging the attention of the Government, and the Hon. O. J. Hawken, Minister of Agriculture, expresses satisfaction with the experimental work in seeking a means of making the land better, which is being carried out at the Agricultural Department’s experimental farm at Mamaku. The Minister, who visited the farm this week, stated this evening that the Empire Marketing Board, London, had offered to assist New Zealand in .connection with research work into the mineral content of the pastures, and bush sicknesa, he said, was considered by the department to be caused through the lack of iron in the 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, sai<l the Minister.
