PROGRESSIVE UNIVERSITY
EDUCATING DAIRY FARMERS
It is gratifying to know that the Auckland University College Council is recognising its duty to the great industry of its province dairying, in having decided to take up seriously an investigation into the economics of dairyfarming and education of dairyfarmers in regard to keeping accounts. At the present time a member of the University Staff, Mr. F. B. Stephens, is in charge of the Workers’ Educational Association in South Auckland, and has taken a keen interest in the economics of dairy-farming. At the last meeting of the University Council Mr. Stephens was also appointed officer in charge of research, work into the business side of farming. Mr. Stephens is making a start in the Te Awamutu district. A group ot farmers has been selected whom Mr. Stephens will assist during the course of periodic visits to keep a simple set of books. This service will gradually be extended.
