EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.
THE TRAINING OF YOUTHS. . By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. "My desire as Minister for Agriculture," said the Prime Minister to a reporter to-day, "is to establish at our agricultural experimental farms facilities for young men to learn farming." The statement was apropos of the fact that the Cabinet had authorised the expenditure of a sum of money for the erection of apprentices' quarters at the Weraroa farm. The Prime Minister went on to state that the building would be of moderate size, and would include' a room in which lectures would be given by officers of the Department. The lads would give their work for the first three months in exchange for their board and training, and for the next three months they would receive a slight remuneration, and future allowances would increase in proportion to their indußtry and ability. He hoped to widen the system so as to include other State properties. He wanted to afford facilities for quite a number of young men of good stamp to loam the 'practical work of farming, supplemented bv lectures and other means of instruction.
