WEED SEEDS
INTRODUCTION BY ANIMALS.
It is generally understood that stock can do a great deal in spreading the seeds of various species from one place to another, states Mr N. Lamont, Instructor in Agriculture, Masterton, in the “Journal of Agriculture.” Very often we are concerned with the introduction of weeds into pastures by this means, but at the same time desirable species can be carried and' ’■sown" —under very favourable cir- 1 cumstances—to the benefit of the sward. An illustration shows a magnified' photograph of a sheep dropping which must have contained many hundreds of white and suckling clover seeds, which have freely germinated and' which will be a valuable addition t>the poor, open, sward where the specimen was found.
