BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
BOY’S’ AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
SHOULD FENCING ACT BE
ALTERED ?
WELLINGTON, July 28. The importance of furthering the movement in eoipioction with the initiation of boys’ agricultural clubs, as carried on in Taranaki by the Farmers’ Union, was emphasised before a meeting of the Board of Agriculture, and the scheme has the Board’s hearty support. It is proposed to circularise. A, and P. Associations. urging the formation of clubs in different parts of the Dominion where such do not exist. A suggestion was placed before the Board to have the Fencing Act amended to permit the use of lighter wire than is specified in the construction of a “sufficient” fence. This received full consideration, but the Board is of opinion that further lengthy tests of lighter wire are required to establish the claims made before any alteration is made in the Act.—P.A.
