OUTLOOK FOR FARMING
NEVER "WAS BETTER. MORE WHEAT NEEDED. — .m PREMIER FAVOURS LIGHT __j_ RAILWAYS. £g — a (By Telegraph. —Press Association-) _l ■■} WELLINGTON, thi» day. A conference of representatives of agricultural and pastoral societies opened to-day. The Premier, in an address, referred to the good work done by the conference in the past, and said the outlook for farmers was never better. At the same time, he sincerely hoped farmers would sea their way to grow more wheat. There had been a reduction in the production* of cerea! crops, and this meant an enhanced rise in the cost of living. Ho noticed that a remit would come up for discussion urging the Government to construct light railways for the development of the country. "TbeTC is no doubt," he added, ''the present railway system is not keeping abreast with the progress of settlement. Some means is' required, and should be devised whereby facilities can be provided for the people on the land to get their produce to market. This, in my opinion, can only be done by a system of light railways."
