"With tdl the ups and downs wo have had. New Zealand still depends on its farmers," said Mr A. C. Brotherton at the Advertising Club's meeting in Christchurch the other day. "The great bulk of our farmers are gone, workers, although there are a few who spend too much time chasing races and sales, or breeding from mongrel bulls and mongrel rams. My father said, 'Got your boys on to the land, or your family will die out in three generations.’ But our farmers’ sons now hanker for a white collar and a shiny. seat on their trousers."
