NEW ZEALAND FARMERS
MUCH BETTER OFF THAN AUSTRALIANS. OBSERVATIONS OF TOURING PARTY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “Farmers in Australia are incredulous when told that nearly every farmer in New Zealand owns a motorcar, a milking machine plant, a radio set and a telephone, and has an electrically equipped house and milking shed,” said Mr P. O. Veale, chemist and bacteriologist to the Taranaki Federation of Dairy Factories, who returned by the Awatea as leader of a party of 31 members of South Taranaki Young Farmers' club members who toured New South Wales. "Our fellows have returned very well satisfied with conditions in their own country,” said Mr J. E. Davies, instructor to the Department of Agriculture, who acted as manager of the tour. "They have no wish to change places with the farmers in New South Wales. From every viewpoint the Tour was an eye-opener." Messrs Veale and Davies said they were overwhelmed with cordiality and received with civic honours in important towns. There was obviously the warmest possible sentiment toward New Zealand.
