ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS

W.J. McCullock Says Experience Is Money

WJ. McCULLOCK undoubtedly owes his recent appointment as farm manager at the Massey Agricultural College to his splendid achievements with the Agricultural Department. ' McCullock himself says he has been lucky, but it is not the Government alone that knows how he pulled the Weraroa Experimental Farm out of the ruck, converted so © 3000 acres of sea-waste at Invercargill into fertile pasture and set the prison farm at bhristohurch on its feet. - Born of Scottish parents at Du/iedin m 1877, young McCullock received his education at one of the city schools and also at Green Island. When he first joined up with the Agricultural Department there were only two instructors, one m the North Island and the other m the South. a Farmers were ever-ready to seek his invaluable assistance and will •regret that his vast experience is po longer at their beck and call. He gives this advice to young farmers: "Experience is money. Get it while you can."
