School Inspectors’ Conference.—
From Tuesday to Friday next -week (during the term holidays), inspectors of primary and post-primary schools in New Zealand will meet at a conference convened by the Education Department in Wellington. It is expected that , the whole field of education will be traversed in discussions. Winter Sowing of Wheat Throughout the main wheat districts the period for cultivation and wheat sowing had had very favourable weather and soil conditions, said a report presented to the Wheat Research Institute committee yesterday. The weather broke at the end of May. and in most districts this interrupted sowings. Little work on the land was in June. Sowing at Lincoln commenced in the first week in May and. with only a slight interruption by rain, wfis concluded at the end of the month. In Tai Tapu the institute had leased two areas, one of two acres, and. as this had proved insufficient. another one of about half an acre. Over nine acres of the Lincoln area were made available to the Agronomy Division.
