Fowlds, the natural transportation cenr tre of New Zealand is Palmerston North. ' Justifying the selection of the Manawatu ' town as the location of the Massey ? Agricultural College to members of the 1 Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-day, t Sir George stated that a student could - leave Invercargill one day and reach - Palmerston North at 10 o'clock next morning.
