MR. G. H. HOLFORD, B.Sc. ( 4gcic.) It is the privilege of farmers of the country to be able to listen to many addresses on matters pertaining to the land, and in no small degree 8YA has helped to maintain the rural population’s acknowledged record for efficiency. One of the best known authorities whose advice they listen to is Mr. G. H. Holford, who, apart from being the South Island editor of the "N.Z, Farmer," frequently speaks direct to the farmer in his home-a heart to heart talk, as it were. A graduate of Lincoln and Canterbury Colleges, Mr. Holford has been chairman of the Canterbury Progress League since the formation of that organisation some eight years ago. Wssentially interested in all matters affecting the land, he has been connected with a number of schemes dealing with agricultural education and rural development in Canterbury. He has also edited a number of publications dealing with farming. Mr. Holford has oecupied positions on the Council of the Canterbury Philosophical Institute, Board of Governors of the Christchurch Technical College, and several other Jocal bodies.
