FARMS MUST BE WORKED
FARMERS SPEND TOO MUCH TIME OFF FARMS. "Dry season or not, land will produce good crops if it is properly and thoroughly worked before the seed is sown," said a Methven farmer, when discussing the crops. "I am sure that the majority of the farmers spend too much time off their farms. I say that, even if it is against myself. There is no shutting our eyes to that fact. We attend sales in all parts of the country, run into town on the smallest excuse, and I think most of us guilty of going into town for amusement on frequent occasions. Our farms must suffer as a result of that. More time should be spent on the land, and the cutting of hedges alone would keep most men busy for weeks."
