OATS AND CALIFORNIAN THISTLE.
The absolute importance of clean seed has recently been brought home to a Masterton farmer. We are all familiar with the parable of the tan& and the wheat, and in that narrative it was not the sower but someone else who scattered the tares. In the case under notice, however, the farme: had a verv fair chance to sow Californian thistle liberally on hia land. It seems that he imported a quantity of oat seed from the South Island, and before using it he noticed, very , fortunately, that there was a quantity of Californian thistle seed amongst the oats. He is, of course, returning the seed both oats and thistles.
