FEBRUARY WEATHER
PASTURES VERY DRY WINTER FEED POSITION February was a sunny month with normal temperatures, says a report from the Dominion Meteorologist. Over most of the North Island it was dry with only light winds, but from the Wellington province southward it was frequently windy, and, although rain was heavy in the central region, fine days predominated. The main harvesting has been completed under favourable conditions, but in the low rainfall areas as well as in others where drying winds have been persistent, pastures have become brown and are at a standstill. At present the prospects for green and root crops for winter feed are not very bright. The Diamond back moth is reported to be damaging turnip and rape crops and white butterfles are increasingly in evidence.
