AGRICULTURE
The rural industries, and the preparation of their products lor export. are among the most important factors in the material prosperity of New Zealand It is consequently a matter of satisfaction that the past year has been one of prosperity for these industries. The wool clip has been good; dairying has continued to expand, especially in the manufacture of cheese; commercial fruit growing is now beginning to take its true place as a means of utilising much land that is of comparatively small value for other purposes; the hemp industry has, owing largely to a period of high prices, shown a remarkable revival; and poultry raising and bes keeping are exhibiting signs of a forward movement.
The Government has under consideration a proposal to introduce legislation this session which will enable financial assistance to be granted to associations of fruit grower-! for the purpose of erecting canning factories and providing cold storage.
