BALANCED MANURING AND BALANCED STOCK FEEDING
H.E.ANNETT

Those of us who are working on grassland problems fully realise
that manuring is only one factor in production. Sir John Russell s&3
when he was in New Zealand that in considering the manurial scheme for
any farm one’has first to decide what manure should be used, and then
when it should be used. I disagree with this view. I first want to look
at the farmer and then at his farm. In other words,a great deal of money
can be wasted by inefficient management.

The evolution of species in response to, and their perpetuation

THE HALF FIELD METHOD OF GRASS MANURIAL TRIALS
A.H,FLAY
view more
In practical agriculture it is essential when making investigations
and experiments to keep in mind the need of the farmer: i.e. -
that the investigations and experiments be conducted in such a way that
truly sound and reliable results may be secured. If the information
given to the farmer is misleading, i.e., the experiment or investigation
fails to obtain the truth, then the farmer who heeds erroneous instructions
must lose accordingly.
