SETTLEMENT BOARDS.
FARMERS' UNION PROPOSAL. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) MARTON, Moiulay. The Wellington provincial- executive of the Fanners' Union to-day considered a suggestion hv the Dominion president, Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P., that additional deteriorated land boards should be set up. The executive resolved that any number of boards would be useless where, the land was unsuitable and the settler incapable. The following motion was also carried: "That the executive, is of opinion that the land settlement policy, including the constitution of land boards and the regulations under which they operate, should be recast, with a view tn the creation of land settlement boards, comprising practical farmers possessing practical knowledge of modern land development and requirements, as well as scientific authorities acquainted with different soils and their productive capabilities."
