That men out of work to-day lack x the enterprise of the “old timers is >e opinion expressed by an old Ihames resident now in Auckland. He is suipriscd that so much grass seed remains unharvested in the suburbs of the city. If the seed were garnered it would find a ready sale, he believes, and many an unemployed man might profitably turn his attention in this direction. Whenever men come to his door this pioneer tells them to give up canvassing trifling articles and set to work harvesting -the seed. In one part of Mount Eden there is over an acre of fine grass seed waiting to be gathered, but when this potential source of income is pointed out to the itinerant salesmen they turn away in disdain.
