THE LIME QUESTION.
TO THK KDITOII. Sni,—l do hope that the Tarmers Clubs, now so thoroughly established in our midst, will take up this question of endeavouring to obtain a supply of agricultural lime for the Waikato. Jt is, j consider, the ono thing above all others, even bone dust included, which just imw required for our lands and especially for our turnip crops. If the Farmers Cltuw will, by Unit , united action during the next year secure a supply of this lime, even if they do nothing whatever else, they will have earned the lasting gratitude of every one who owns a single acre of land in the Waikato. The lime is here lying so to speak just over our fence and yot is beyond our reach. Steps I think should bo taken to induce the Government to secure the lime stone beds of To Kuili, and then by low rail freights and offering a bonus to any ono who will burn an i supply the lime at such a price as will bring it within the reach of every farmer in the district, the results I am siu'o would be beyond our utmost expectations. It is the ono thing we want, it is here at our doors, and it may be had I am sure by a little agitation on our part.—l am etc. HB.viiv llcrn.K. Amiandidc, 7th June, IKflO.
