No Dictation
Farmers, u’ho as a class are notably independent in outlook, often do not take kindly to the idea of joining a farm improvement club for although they realise they may reap benefits from it they dislike any infringement of their freedom of action. The field officer to the Lauriston Farm Improvement Club, Mr P. M. Falconer, made it very clear to club members at the annual meeting that he has no ideas of forcing farmers to follow any particular line of policy. “My aim is to help you do what you want to do yourselves,” he said. One farmer, Mr W. T. Abbott, who formerly lived in the club area and has now shifted to North Canterbury thinks enough of it to have retained his membership and still receives the help of the farm adviser on his farm at Fernside.
