FARM INSTRUCTION
TRAVELLING SCHOOLS PROPOSED A scheme for conducting a series of travelling farm schools during tho winter was discussed at a conference of the Auckland, Hamilton, and To lyuiti agricultural instructors in Hamilton., For the past eight years tho department has held a central school for a week at Ruakura or Hamilton,, and it is considered that an improvement could be made by holding field days in various parts of the province, though the week schools have in the past served an excellent purpose. The co-operation of the New Zealand Farmers' Union has been enlisted and experimental grasses and crops sown in various parts of the district. An itinerary will be arranged for the eight departmental instructors engaged in the work. Meetings of farmers are to be called and lectures given. Now and valuable information, stated Mr. T. H. Paterson (Auckland), had been obtained from the experiments which had been carried out, and it would be disseminated at the travelling farm schools to those who attended.
