1YA GARDENING TALKS
Sir,-May I say a few words in appreciation of the splendid gardening talks featured by 1YA, and in particular the one presented on the night of
July 24. On this occasion "Gardening Talk" was hardly the term-"Sermon ‘of the Soil" would be more appropriate, inasmuch as it propounds a way of life, a creed, based on logic and supported by hard facts. The main theme, that of soilerosion, was dealt with clearly and concisely, so that for the first time, it became to me, not the vague nuisance afflicting farmers, and worrying:a few Government officials, but my own problem. Now I can see it is a menace to the whole community, and the courageous presentation of this problem made by 1YA’s gardening expert, must have caused many to stop and think. I, personally, would like to see it published in your widely-circulated journal. Meanwhile, at least one person has been stirred to write his appreciation of
it;
R.F.
B.
(Dargaville).
