VISITOR'S TRIBUTE.

Dairying Methods in New Zealand Compared.

AN AUSTRALIAN'S ANALYSIS

(Received 0.30 a.m.)

SYDNEY, this day. Mr. H. J. Bate, member of the State Legislative Assembly, has returned from New Zealand after a through investigation of dairying. He will make a special report to the Premier, Mr. B. S. Stevens, on his observations. Mr. Bate, in the course of an interview, made interesting comparisons in the dairying methods of New Zealand and Australia. .

He said he was convinced that there was scope in Australia for tremendous development, but he was afraid there was high wastage of animals in the Dominion, due to the tremendous strain placed upon cows to ensure the maximum production.

He paid a tribute to New Zealand dairymen, who worked very hard, very methodically and employed most up-to-date ideas all the year round.

SYDNEY, this day. Mr. A. J. Brown, president of the Town and Country Planning Institute of New South Wales, who returned by the Awatea, described the New Zealand Government's £5,500,000 housing scheme as an ambitious plan which had every chance of success. He added that by April there will be a building boom in New Zealand.

Mr. Brown said he would pass on to the New South Wales Government the information he had obtained in New Zealand.
