LEGAL INFORMATION FOR FARMERS
Like, everyone else in theses highly complicated tinges in which we live, farmers are. surrounded by a host of rules and regulations which must be adhered .to—otherwise court actions and unnecessary» expense are liable to loom up on the Horizon and add to the trials of life.
A barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court df New Zealand, Mr William '.F,. Johns; ' has done the farming communitygreat service by publishing a seq<?h(i;,€dition of his book entitled 'thei'bVNew Zealand Farmers’ Legal Handbook.’’ But, it is not an ordinary; legal’ tome, full of obscure refereiidfeS whiclr.ho one but a judge plain; simple language and covers the whole course of;’ agricultural legislation, ranging from the regulations governing Danger ous£ Chattels to mortgages. •% £% ; ~, '
The aim of tKev-book is to convey in plain language the meaning of those branches of common and statute law which most intimately concern the class referred to“;and of which a lack too" often results Tn loss of just rights or the incurringtof quite needless expense and anxiety;- _
