TASMANIAN FARMERS
VISIT TO RUAKURA FARM From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON, Monday, The Tasmanian farmers who are visiting the Dominion spent an interesting morning at the Ruakura State Farm today. Mr. H. Munro welcomed the farmers, and showed them over the institution. Messrs. R. 13. Duxfield and T. H. Henderson, members of the Farmers’ Union, gave addresses to the visitors. Replying on behalf of the party, Mr. V. O. Shoebridge said they had seen phenomenal crops and wonderful stock in Southland. They had seen land up and down the country carrying more stock than they had believed possible, yet now that they had come to the North, the longer system of cultivation and intensive treatment of the pastures had shown them conditions which exceeded anything they had hitherto seen. They had come expecting to see green fields and good stock, but they had seen greener fields and better stock. On their return to Hamilton, the visitors joined the express for Rotorua.
