TRAINING MIGRANTS
Lynford Hall, England, the co’lrge for the training- of migrants in farming, 's equipped with pedigrei stock. It has 350 medium white Yorkshire pigs and Romney Marsh sheep, a herd of Kerry cattle, 200 Shorthorn and Hereford bullocks for fattening, and an egg far stocked with White Leghorns and Black Orpingtons. It has its own electricity plant. Mr. W. H. Potts, the principal, formerly principal of the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, disagrees with Lord Apsley’s idea that students should be trained to cook their own meals and mend their own clothes. “ That is a woman’s job,” says Mr. Potts. “As these students are asking capital to Australia, I shall advise them to marry when they have their own farms, and, preferably, to marry Australian wives, who know local conditions.”
