EXPERTS STUDYING COAST FARMING IGNORED LEAGUE
Criticism of the failure of a party i of specialist officers of the Depart- ! ment of Agriculture to call on either I the Progress League or the Federated Farmers during a recent tour of the West Coast, was voiced at last evening’s meeting of the Westland Progress League. The league was discussing pro- . posals for the establishment of a branch of 'Lincoln College on the West Coast, in connection with which the Minister of Agriculture, Mr K. J. Holyoake, advised that he would agree to further investigation to define the needs of the Coast for improved extension and research services. (He had earlier opposed the formation of a branch of the college) . The secretary, Mr J. Saunders pointed out that the Minister had reached his decision to postpone a final decision, on the same day as it was reported that the specialist party was io visit the West Coast. “Yet we heard nothing from them,” he added. The league decided to 'draw the attention of the Minister to the position.
