A northern farmer who is on a visit to Taranaki stated he had been much struck by the absence of shelter belts on farms in certain localities in the province. In the Waikato, he said, practically the whole of the landscape was dotted with shelter belts, and their value in protecting stock from cold winds was most marked. Speaking of farming generally, he did not think that Taranaki had a great deal to learn from the Waikato, but in regard to the provision of shelter for stock, he was of opinion that farmers upon whose property there were not many trees, would not regret it if some attention were paid to the matter.
