DAIRYING ENTERPRISE
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I notice by your paper the City Milk Committee has issued an invitation to legislators and their ladies to visit the municipal milk station. Such visit will undoubtedly be of interest to those accepting, as the station is claimed to be the largest and most up to date of- its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. May I suggest that the legislators and their ladies also pay a visit to some of the farms in the Ohariu, Makara, and Johnsonville districts that are used for dairying. I feel sure that the members who are farmers or know something about farming will be surprised at such country being used for running dairy cows on, as it is mostly poor and extremely rough; in fact, only suited for sheep. It would be a demonstration to these gentlemen what men with energy, enterprise, and stout hearts can do. These men are making several blades of grass grow where under ordinary circumstances only one will do so. I consider they are doing a national service by such demonstration.—l am, etc., . BLOSSOM.
