Mr. Gregor M'Gregor, of • Wanganui, has been appointed manager of the Native farm at Ranana on the Wanganui i{iver, and; the general opinion hero, ig that no more suitable man could have been found to. launch the new scheme for training Maoris in farming. Tho farm consists of about.7ooo acres in Morikau iNo. li Block, and comprises fine , easy country. Part has already been cleared, . but some is in manuka, and the balance in light bush, so that it is an admirable selection for 1 tho purpose. Mr.. M'Gre-. gor proceeds up the river on Saturday to take' a preliminary survey/ of tho . place, and will commence farming opera- ' tions at the earliest moment. His intention is to employ all Maori labuur if possible, and do all, in his power to develop farming instincts in the young Maoris. Tho object of the scheme is to , prove whether or not the young Maori can be made a farmer! Hence this farm will be watched with particular interest.
