MR W. PERRY'S OFFER.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT'S ATTITUDE.
The Experimental Committee of the Masterton A. and P. Association reported on Saturday that the Agricultural Department, through Mr E. Clifton, had accepted the offer of Mr W. Perry, of tho Taratahi, of teri acres of land for experimental purposes, on condition that the Association found the labour required to conduct the experiments. Mr Perry said it seemed to him that the Government was taking a very narrow view of the matter. The Association was not in a position to j find the required labour to carry out the experiments. He was agreeable that his offer should stand, but he suggested that a small committee'be appointed to interview Mr Clifton in the matter. It was too late this season to do anything in the way of experiment on a large scale. Considering the interests which were at stake and the importance of the district, he had not thought that the Department would view the matter in so narrow a light. Mr W. B. Matheson suggested that they communicate with the Sandon district, and ascertain on what terms the experiments were being conducted there.
Eventually, a committee consisting of Messrs Cruickshank, Shaw and Lett was appointed to make further enquiries and report.
