SETTLING ON LAND
DOES NOT APPEAL TO OTAGO YOUTHS. VOCATIONAL OFFICER'S VIEWS. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) DUNEDIN, April 19. According to the vocational officer. Mr Conly, settling on the land holds no appeal for Otago youths. “In fact,’’ he said, "one wonders whether the next generation of farmers will come from the North Island.” Mr Conly considered farmers were partly to blame since they were regularly announcing that theirs was a hopeless, bankrupt calling. Mr Conly pointed to the difference in Auckland where indenture and the compulsory part saving of wages enabled the trainee to get sufficient capital presently to own a farm. He stated that the northern committee had placed 2,200 boys in farm. “Prospective ownership seems the crux of the problem,” he said.
