Farmers And Lime
Sir, —The letter in your correspondence column tonight, signed “Worker, Not Talker, ’’ appears to, be simply an. attack on the principle of the Mackay street farmers spending their time in Greymouth'as representatives of farming as an industry. ■ The sug-
Igestion that some of the so-call-ed” farmers’ might do a little more to their farms so that they would not need to cry about lime, smacks of envy of persons more fortunately situated than “Workers, Not Talker It is a credit to a man if he can get his farm into such good order f as to be able to give his time and attention to boards and committees in town, and it is not to be supposed that the cows go unmiUed. Presumably this work is done veiy eaily in the morning and late at night by electric light. The Mackay street farmers are a recognised institution, and it is doubtful if the business of the town could be properly regulated without this talent from the country. Someone has to shoulder the responsibilities. lam etc., ■ « TOWNSMAN » Greymouth, August 29.
