WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE SURPLUS CORN?
SOCIAL REFORM.
EDITOR WITNESS. Sir, — As you are aware, an attempt is being made to get distilleries re-established in New Zealand. Those interested in this matter have been canvassing among the farmers to get their signatures annexed to a petition praying the Government to allow distilleries to be erected for the purpose of using up the surplus corn for which the farmer has at present no market. Several farmers have read the accompanying article of Professor W. S. Matthews (of the' United) States) on this question ; and I have been asked to get it inserted in such papers as are widely read by farmers. 4 The Otago Witness seems to me to be more 'read by farmers than any other paper; (therefore I beg of you, Sir, in the interests of your agricultural readers to publish the following extracts from Professor Matthews' valuable paper, and you will greatly oblige. — Yours, &c, Tub Superintendent New Zealand W.C.T.U. for Influencing the Press.
