! [dy telegraph.—own* correspondent.]
DARGAVTLLE. Thursday.
For some time the Dargaville farmers and business men have been organising for the establishment ot a demonstration farm on the lines of the model demonstration farm at Stratford, Tnranaki. This farm is run by a body of farmers acting in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture. The department grants an annual subsidy of £300 a year toward the expenses incurred in experimental work and other useful projects. The results attained can be seen by the farmers of the district, and can be applied bv them, as the experimental results are local. The farms provide a meeting place for farmers, where local problems, can be regularly discussed on what are termed " Farmers' Field Days."
Mr. J. H. Patterson, instructor in agriculture. Auckland, has received official notice that the request nf the Northern Wairoa Demonstration Farm Society has been given the approval of Cabinet. Itis probable that a suitable property will be leased or purchased ard a start mado in the neai future.
