FARMERS' DIFFICULTIES
LAND VALUATION AND BIRD PESTS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Timaru, Last Night. John Talbot, speaking at the Farmers' Union branch, said that land values in South Canterbury 'were unduly high. In ten years they had gone up from 75 to 100 per cent. This would be all right as long as prices kept up, but if a reverse came it would be all wrong. He supposed the reasons were the absence of other forms of investment, and the willingness of men to work land without a fair return on the capital invested. Speaking of small birds, he said farmers lost as much grain ">v caterpillars now as before birds were introduced, and now lost grain enormously by the birds.
