"RESULTS WELL TELL"

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

(By Telegraph.)

(Special to "The Evening Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day. Satisfaction with the arrangements made was expressed last evening by the Hon. George Fowlds, chairman of the conncil of the New Zealand College of Agriculture, when acquainted with the contents of the Bill relating to it, he remarked that they were as expected. Time would-settle the balance between the two colleges. There was nothing to prevent his-council making the college at Palmerston North a Dominion institution.

"The only difference the legislation makes, " said Mr. Fowlds, "is that we can now proceed definitely with the business of making a'full agricultural college. In past years we were restricted by the Government's pledge to dairy science and research, but the arrangement made will free us to prosecute a' complete programme. As to the status of the two colleges, ,the work they do will be the final test of their ; relative ■ positions." Eegarding. the purchase of the M'Hardy property, Mr.Fowlds thought that it should be made clear that the purchase was being made by the Palmerston Borough, subject to the college being; given full status. The postal authorities have received cable advice from Sydney that the Maunganui, which left there at 7 a.m. yesterday for ; Wtllington, carries 42 bags of mail from Australia (including East 15, Africa 2) and 19 parcel r«ceptacles.
