The usual Druids 500 tournament will bo held in the Druids’ Hall this evening. A pleasant evening is assured those who attend.

The impression may have been given at the householders’ meeting, through the mention of Mr D. S. Mackenzie as the originator of the school dental system in Levin and the statement by a parent that he had three children attending school who had not received dental treatment, that Mr Mackenzie had been responsible for the omission, but this is not the case, as the children in question were not his patients. Towards the end of last year a now arrangement was entered into whereby engagements were to be made with the dentists directly instead of through the staff; and a misunderstanding of this probably accounted for the incident referred to above.

Between 80 and 100 fanners of the Manawatu ami Horowlienua districts attended tlie field day at Massey College on Monday, organised by the Manawatu Herd Testing Association. The College Prindrflal (Professor Peren), in welcoming the gathering, said that dairying and sheep pasture work were going to he the “long suits” of the College, but, of course, it was early yet for anyone to expect to see or learn very much there. Testing work was being canned out and certain aspects of that work were being enquired into. It was hoped that something of value would be the result of those experiments. To carry on research work first class land was not wanted —in fact poor soil was needed for results to be seen. The speaker explained that the College Council had been very busy setting its house in order —the whole of the farm had to be planned for subdivision, watering, reading, etc., and so the visitors would not. see as yet very much. All that had been done, however, had been accomplished in the short space of nine months. The gathering was conducted over the College acres by the farm manager (Mr W. J. McCulloch) and much interest was taken in what was being done there. The milking sheds, factory in course of erection, piggeries, etc., were all inspected, while numerous questions on farm management were asked and answered. An address by Professor Riddet, Dean of Dairying, upon feeding, breeding and herd testing was listened to with much interest.
