The new Paddy Breeding Station occupies an area of 134 acres about half a mile to the west of the Farm wet land. The area is a compact block almost entirely surrounded by deep channels. It is hoped that an additional field of 2 acres will be acquired in the near future and this will give 15 acres of cultivable land entirely self contained with regard to water supply and drainage.
F. R. Parnell (Fri,) studied this question.
