GOVERNMENT SEED

(TQ THE EDITOR.) 1 Sir,—Can anyone tell when the G'fVijrnment seed will come. Native land is exempt from participation in the big fire supply of seed which includes all native h .d. In a place like Kawhia surround.d by native land only those who can get seed can sow accidental burn?. I say d laliee all native land and let the natives have advantage of white laws; at present the'e h a distinction. S.*rd all old Native Law books to the Wellington destructor It no distinct! m was modi; legally, and especially regarding laid law/ between natives and wbi es, the present Native Land bother would ai once cease. Is the nauve not as capable as the white? The natives here have bee.i ta ight by the whites and are equal to them in business or labour when properly trained, eo why not give one set of land laws to all and eli minute this Kawhia Native land trouble. First individualise all native lands, give equal laws, and trouble melts as a frost before the sun. Botb colours would be satisfied and all courts for native land would cease Each individual could then sow his own land or sell it. —Yours, etc., G. H. MACKENZIE.
