CO-OPERATIVE EXPERIMENTATION.
The Government Agricultural Department has now had under its close observation in the North Island for the last eighteen months, and in the South Island for the last six months, the development of a system of cooperative experimentation with farms, a system under which small quantities of fertilisers and different varieties of seeds are, by the cooperation of the department and the farmer, experimented with, and the
results carefully noted for future use. In both the North and the South Islands, where the respective officers who have the supervision of this work are Messrs Baylis3 and M'Phersun, the response that has been met with from the farmers has, says Mr E. Clifton, of the Agricultural Department, been of a very gratifying nature. This system of co-operative experimentation has proved a very great success in other countries, and that i*' will also be a success in New Zealand is practically assured.
