"NEVER LOOKING BETTER”
MINISTER’S VIEW OF TARANAKI. Praise was given by the Hon. P. A. de la Perrelle, Minister of Internal Affairs, who arrived in New Plymouth on Saturday evening, to the farmers responsible for the intensive cultivation of the dairying lands of Taranaki. “I have never,” remarked Mr. de la Perrelle on Saturday, "seen the Taranaki lands looking better. There has been some topdressing; that is evident. There is no dopbt that the farmers treating the land up this way know what they are doing. Down in Southland, where I come from, we have not the same facilities as you have —I mean in dairying. The Taranaki district has always been held up to be the model dairy farm of the Dominion. Interlinked with the Waikato, I think the Taranaki province is justly entitled to its title. New Zealand is careful of its reputation for primary products and testimonies from abroad show that , our standard is being Maintained./ . , i r.l a . I Z : I 7>l £( y.li.'>;;f'>7
