ASHBURTON, This Day,
Hon. 0. J. Hawken, Minister of Agriculture, arrived here yesterday at the invitation of the mid-Canter-bury -executive of the Farmer*’ Union and A. and P. Association to inspect the wheat growing areas of the country.
In the morning the Minister inspected the experimental farm, and in the afternoon he addressed a large meeting of farmers on the wheat question.

Referring to dairy produce, Mr Hawkeu defended control. The Minister will tour the country today, returning to Wellington this evening.
