THE MODEST FARMER.
The Hon. D. Burldo, Minister for Internal Affairs, speaking at Rangiora last week, said he regretted that facilities for agricultural education were not being taken advantage of by the youth of Dominion to the extent that the Minister for Education would like them to be. He believed that every farm should have its "experimental plot." The old farmrers had gained their information bv long experience, and agricultural instruction was designed, not for thein but for the younger generation. He was inclined to believe that farmers did not think as much of themselves as they should do. Tfyey were contributing the greatest portion of the income of their country. He believed that there was a great future in store for the agricultural industry in the Dominion, and that the time would come when all land under cultivation would have to be very intensely cultivated.
