Powell came from Wellington and provided the afternoon's programme. As lecturer Lady Hunter took "Babbit Keeping as v Profitable Venture" for the subject. She showed that little material was required for this industry and with the initial cost of good stock a good income would be assured. The work itself was shown to be simple and interesting and indeed in all ways~ suitable for a side issue of a faimer. - Some of our members will take up this novel industry. As demonstrator Lady Hunter instructed in the arts of plastico work and in beat work. Very fine examples of these were shown. The members proceeded to make immediate use of their newly-acquired knowledge, and articles were begun under' Lady Hunter's guidance.
