VOCATIONAL TRAINING

DAIRY FARMING AND MILK "SUPPLY,

On Friday morning last Mr H. A. Ward, assistant general manager of the municipal milk supply paid a visit to tho Trentham Military Hospital for the purpose of addressing the students under the Defence Department's vocational training, scheme in dairy farming and the milk supply problem. In the course'of his | remarks the- speaker imparted some ! very sound advice to the students, whose intention it is to abandon the sword for the ploughshare after recovering from their present war disabilities. Experience, stated Mr Ward, had confirmed him -in the belief that three salient features governed success in the dairying industry, viz., acquisition .of suitable land, a sound herd, and a judicious application of energy. The address throughout was listened to by those present with rapt attention, ' and at its conclusion, at the invitation of tho speaker, questions were plied freely. On behalf of the students the vocation officer thanked Mr. Ward for his helpful remarks, and expressed the hope that it would be j their privilege to receive another visit, from aim at no distant date.
