"COATS OFF!"
WANTED ON THE FARMS. MR. E. ALLAN'S OPINION. Commonsense in agricultural training was the need in New Zealand to-day, said Mr. Ebenezer Allan, United party candidate for Hauraki, in his address at Alfriston. The meeting was said to be the largest held in the district for many years. "There are too many men with letters after their names," sail Mr. Allan. "In fact, the only letters needed, as far as I can see, are 'C.O.' Being interpreted, they stand for 'Coats off on the farm.'" Mr. Allan said that on the principle of "coats off" Mr. Henry Ford had made a success of his training farm, where cadets spent one week in school and two weeks outdoors, stripped for action.
A vote of thanks and confidence was carried.
