Brechin, speaking at Palmerston North on over-Government inspection to which farmers are subjected. instanced a farmer who was called upon by four inspectors in one dav. The first called about weeds, the second about a new shed, the third about a pear tree, under the Orchard Act, and a fourth about bees kept ill a kerosene box contrary to apiary legislation. Two of Hie inspectors stayed to dinner. A policeman itho served a summons about the bees noticed a blunderbuss, used in the Crimea. His alertness resulted in a summons on the farmer for keeping an unregistered firearm. The farmer’s wife, in going to town to pay the summons, transgressed the motor regulations, and she was fined 10s. Now the farmer is joining the Agricultural Department himself,” said ,Mr Beech* in, amid laughter.
