"DOG EAT DOG."
"In these days .wages are too high to allow the farmer to employ labour," said Captain, Ctalbeck at the Farmers' Union dinner a>t Auckland last week. "The towns are attracting all the good men, and in some parts of the country you will see only old men innd boys. If lit (were not far the help of the im.flkhig imadunes, I do not know what .many daily -farmers would do. The effect of this ladk is to appreciate Uhe value of the poorer land, which naturally requires'more hands to work it. This iis a vdry serious thing for tlte country. Then it is impossible for tlie farmer to pass on the increased' cost of production as mw 'local (manufacturers do. -We 'manufacture, for ourselves in this country it is a case of 'clog eat dog/ and >if you eat up the agrioulturail dog,'you will find that there is no other dog to eat." :V
