SMALL FARMERS' TASK.
TRIBUTE BY MR. R. MASTERS, M.P. (By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.) Wellington, Last Night. "Tlie dairy farmer is entitled to the full fruit of his labor," said Mr. R. Masters (Stratford) in the House. "He is entitled to a full and open market for whatever he produces." "Farmers in the district 1 represent are practically all small farmers," he added, "and I can say confidently that | there is 110 harder worked man in this country than the small dairy farmer of Taranaki, and no other man is earning his money better. I make bold 'to say that if you reckon the labor of the farmer and the labor of the members of his family, and if you consider the hours actually worked, the small dairy farmers do not make anything like the amount of money that men down on tho Wellington wharves make."
