SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
Speaking at Auckland recently Mr G. Hogben said that in travelling around the world last year everything he heard from leading farmers and farmers' associations convinced him that scientific farming haJ done much more for every country where it had been adopted than most people realised. In Ohio the products ot that State had, without extra expenditure or labour, doubled through the scientific methods adopted. To show that the desire to suit the training to their opportunities did not exist all over the Dominion, Mr Hogben mentioned the case of a distinctly agricultural district in the south where the children were taught electricity and typewriting. They might just as well learn Chinese and the making of telephones. "
