.Ur il. J. Richards, secreuuy oi Leviu urauuh ui Hie New Zealand 1,!.u----mers' liuon, has received Iroiu dominion nead quarters Uio nmowing circular rcgaidiug the Dominion farmers' J.nsliuite to be «set up at \Velliugtun :— '"i desire to bring -uefore the members oi your branch tuu movement '.o establish a Dominion i , armors' institute. A in umber oi prospectuses ot the company, which is now in course Jt flotation are enclosed. i wish to ask each member of your branch to maka tiiinseir cniiversant with the propo ai, when L feel confident he will give hearly approval to the object in view. "The institution will oc a, great gain tc. the larmiug industry, and will, in fact, be the culminating point of the various efforts to combine the farmers for their general good. Here producers will gather together from all parts of the land—from the sister States of the Commonwealth and iroiu other parts of tlie world. This is practically the last opportunity ol seetwing freehold land in the business area of Wellington, near the proposed new central railway .station and wharf for the South Island ferry boats. The jnr<l posed block held under option is eminentiv suitable for the purposes of the institute, and the purchase price is exceedingly favourable. It is the earnest desire vf the promoters to secun-e this land while it is available on these terms, so that when a favourable opportunity presents itself the building of the :n----stitutu can be proceeded with. i: As an investment 1 can confidently recommend the proposal to you, and earnestly trust that you will support the promoters by sending in your application for shares before the 28th October, the date on which the company may be registered. This proposal (in my opinion) is iraught with such advantages for the future that I hope everyone of our members throughout thj Dominion will assist to the best of their ability, and tHue help a movement which has been undertaken by the promoters with one sole object—viz., the good of our industry.

"Good support has no far been forthcoming as tlie result oi the work of our canvasser, but it is now obvious that tho time occupied in personal interviews makes it very difficult to get vug >oquisite minimum within the short'tune prior to the expiry oi the option, so that we arc depending to a large extent on the result Oi this appea.l Mj float the company. VVe'want applications for shares and wowanfthem without delay. Will each member at your next meeting respond and help by seciiring those who arc absent? Applications should bo sent to the secretary Mr R. C. Jack, P.O. Box 715, Wellington. Resting confident of your response.—Believe me, yours faithfully, JAMES G. WILSON, Dominion President."
