The Kaponga branch of the Farmers' Union has asked the Taranaki Executivo to circularise all local bodies in the northern ward of the Wanganni Education District, asking them to rniso the necessary funds for tho -proposed agricultural scholarships, the secretary ,to point out to each body what their approximate sharo would bo on. their valuation. 11l a letter, Mr. Allhnfren, of tho I\a- ' ponga branch, stated that it had been found that it would bo very difficult to collect subscriptions on a three years' guarantee, owinfe.to the. shifting naturo of the population, and it was therefore thought that it would be better to go to a permanent body for the necessary funds. Tho share which would fall to tho individual bodies, it was, jointed out, would bo infinitesimal when compared with the good that would result. Tho executivo appointed a committee to ascertain, if the local bodies could, legally contribute.
