THE FUTURE OF FARMING
Lord Bledisloe is a firm believer in the “magic of ownership” as a stimulus to the productivity, and profit-earn-ing capacity of agricultural land. This of necessity implies the death of the landlord-tenant system. Agricultural co-operation is, lie considers, the one effective means of reducing the disparity between the price received by the producer and that paid by the consumer, which is at the root of the problem, and he sees “no reason whatever why a Socialistic Government, with the sympthy of at least-two-thirds of its political opponents .should not develop on a large scale so-called occupying ownership and its inevitable concomitant co-operation, and thus pull the agricultural industry out of the slough of depression into which it has sunk.” Mr Snowden’s proposals do not come up to the formula of Lord Bledisloe, hut the co-operative principle is contained in the creation of a special class of allotments for suitable unemployed workers, arid in the scheme for agricultural marketing.—“Otago Daily Times.”
