INGLEWOOD NEWS.

(from OUR ( wn correspondent.) As no much his b=en said or written about the remarks of the Post relative to the hardships of children in dairying districts, a short report of the discussion on the subject by the Ingle•vood branch of the New Z-taland Farmers' Union would not be out of p'ace. The subject was brought up by; a farmer whose children milk, on an average, six cows each, and he complained about a leading article that appeared in ths local paper, which tried to bear out the Post's statements. He siid the editor evidently wrote of things he knew nothing about, and thus did a lot of damage to the community. Several other gentlemen endorsed these remarks, which had the effect of raising the temperatui-e of the representative of the local paper, who was present, to b- iliog heat After getting permission from the chairman, ho rose, and "to use a colonial expression" literally pitched into those poor unfortunate farmers who dared to say he wrote of things he kn"w notbiojj After describing at some length incidents that he sa>'d occurred at Patcj. five years sg< ■, and also what happoi ed to him as a boy, 60 years ago, he r>sumed his seat thoroughly siti>fied ha had made an exciting speech, with absolutely no results.
