FARM PLANNING.
Sir, —I see that the Town Planning Committee has not been successful. That is perfectly natural. The farm is the base of the town and to start planning the town first is like putting up the roof before the substructure. When one goes round the country and sees the absence of farm planning, it is not surprising to hear of abandoned farms, or wanting to get off the land, or .why do so many young people want to go to the towns, or the question what will happen when the older folks die off' Lack of planning leads to lack of efficiency and loss- of hope, whereas a well-planned farm would be a continual joy to its owner, highly remunerative, no misdirected energy and more satisfaction. Besides, it would eliminate the many diseases of stock that now dishearten so much. Hayseed.
