DRIFT TO THE TOWNS.
PROCEEDED TOO FAR,
Per Press Association
DUNEDIN, June 4. The annual report of the Otago branch of tho Farmers’ Union, commenting on the fact that there are 3318 fewer farmers on the land in the Dominion than there were last year, expresses the opinion that the urban drift has proceeded too far so that the distribution of the population is unbalanced. The conditions in New Zealand were such that all products of the secondary industries must be marketed in New Zealand so that the demand for town labour was strictly limited.
