'all | that is wanted iu this respect, and there ■ 1 is reason to believe that following his 1 Jonisnip’s recent visit to Canada tho •! wisdom of his judgment will be apjmi-' dated and followed. | Pa New Zealand Lord Bledisioe is I gfdng to a part of the Dominions where i Red Polls have been gradually cu.isrj nig more support, and where more and more breeders have been found. Breedora of these cattle, like those partial to other breeds, have of late years been suffering from the want of fresh blood, their failure to get which has been the high freight charges by the shipping companies. As a one-time i member of the Empire Marketing Hoard, which has shown its anxiety to get over this difficulty, pedigree breeders will lind they have a good friend in Lord Bledisioe. “Permanently a farmer’s breed” is his lordship’s grief description of the Red Poll, which he also declares is a “hardy, thrifty and non-parnpered cattle which have good value for the butcher oven after they have been mill:, producing for a long period.” Coming from a convert who has tested the breed over a long period, no more welcome testimony could be forthcoming. In Lord Bledisioe the farmers of New Zealand will have a loyal and staunch friend ready to consult their wishes and promote their interests. Able to appreciate to the full the perplexing problems associated with farming, and the difficulty of tho producer obtaining a fair share of the market value of his produce, Lord Bledisioe is not likely to be appealed to in vain. An English country gentleman, and the most approachable of men, a good friend of agriculture in Lord Bledisioe will set foot iu New Zealand in the new year. I
