A VISITOR'S VIEWS.
Mr W. A. Pillers, of the Keynshani Stud, Bristol, England, recently told a "VVaikato Times representative that he was so much impressed with the management of the Ruakura State Farm thai> he intended to induce his son to come out from Home and study New Zealand agricultural methods there. Asked as to the difference between farming m England and New Zealand, he said that there was an idea m the colonial mind that Englishmen were unable to farm. He wanted to put that right. There • were farmers m England as good as any m the world, who knew exactly how to go about their business. A man might buy a farm for £5000 m England and farm it half his life. At the end of that timo it would still be worth £5000, but with the same amount of money and same work for the same time the farmer m New Zealand would be much better off; his land would be worth five or \ ten times the sum originally paid. "That is the difference" he said m concluding, "a difference m the increasing value of real estate."
