EAST COAST DAIRYING.
INSTRUCTION FOR MAORIS.
In a rcccnl; article concerning tho dairying activities of the Maoiia on the East Coast tho following paragraphs appearctl:—"An agricultural instructor, who would go from farm to farm, sho'.ving the best methods of preserving cream and cleansing sheds and giving advice as to the best crops suitable to the district, would ho greatly appreciated by the Te Kaha farmers. So far tho natives have ha<d no one but the factory manager to look to for advice."
Writing in connection with this comment a Raukokoni farmer says: —"1 would like to point out that the writer's statement is neither accurate nor just. The district from Te Kaha to Capo Runaway has been visited, to my certain knowledge, at least once a season before and since dairying started by Mr. W. Scott, the dairy instructor, stationed in Opotiki. He has always been most sympathetic to tho movement and his advico on any subject ■ relating to his work is always readily given. In addition Mr. Dempster, of tho dairy division, visited the district and addressed meetings and gave individual advice. At least two instructors in agriculture have visited the district, and their advice in each case has been readily tendered and enthusiastically given."
