"I had no idea the Waiketo was such a wonderful country," said the agricultural instructor at the New Plymouth Technical School to a reporter. "In Taranaki we are all under the impression that Waikato is of much the sameness—that ic won't grow anything worth speaking about, and is no good for dairying. Instead of that I am agreeably surprised to find that it is amongst the finest land I have seen anywhere in New Zealand. It reminds me very much ol Canterbury in many respects, but the climate is much superior. You have a wonderful climate here. What a preat fruit-grnwiug district the Auckland province will be in time to come. And the strides you are making in dairying shows that you are going to be a big competitor with the rest of New Zealand in that respect, loo."
