RAG-PLANTERS
Sir,-Though I missed the very ex‘cellent talk by Dr. G. H. Scholefield dealing with the newspaper activities of the late Joseph Ivess and also a paragraph referring to my own efforts in that direction, I had the pleasure of reading a synopsis of the talk in The Listener. That is one of the good features of your journal-"What is lost on the roundabout is pulled up on the swing"; anything especially good- is usually printed. The reference to Ivess having started so many country papers in Australia and New Zealand might lead the uninitiated to think that planting a newspaper is quite an easy matter; but as a matter of fact, to start one paper alone involves a great deal of work and worry, besides patience. Starting the eight newspapers still existing to my credit, made me think of the trials of Job. There were many setbacks and disappointments; still, I think the kindnesses my wife and self received ih the several settlements far outweighed the disappointments and rebuffs. It is satisfactory to think that Premiers of the day, from the local platforms, praised my ventures, the views being, of course, that the papers promoted the settlement of new districts,
