' (From Federated Farmers) Auckland, This Day. From many branches in the Auckland Province of Federated Farmers have come requests urging the Government to establish a Chair of Veterinary Science. This was referred to the Minister of Agriculture and the Auckland Provincial Secretary has now been advised of the. Ministerial considerations.

Furthermore, the Minister considered that certain basic subjects require to be dealt with by the best men available.
