A STOCK CENTRE. It is a truism that Taranaki is rapidly coming into prominence as a stock centre. But a. few years ago two comparatively small freezing works were sufficient to , cope with the amount of stock coming forward. Those were the days when the prices for stock were low, and thorp was no real inducement for the farmer to get rid of his surplus. Things have changed. Land has become more valuable, and the dairyman has been shown how unprofitable it is to milk scrubbers, that is to say, cows that will not yield a payable quantity of butter-fat per season. Hence he has to find an outlet for his unprofitable milch animals. Again many farmers are now realising that it pays to keep a few sheep on a dairy farm, whilst the flocks in the back parts are increasing every year. Hence there are more sheep in the province to-day than ever there were. These facts are stated to prove that ADEQUATE FREEZING FACILITIES are indispensible to the success of the producers. If there are more stock available than there are freezing • facilities it stands to reason that the farmer is hit in the pocket. To-day the available slaughtering accommodation at the Farmers’ Meat Works, Smart Hoad, is very severely taxed. Additions are an urgent necessity. If they are not provided in time for next season the loss will he exceedingly heavy, for every year sees a substantial increase in the surplus stock. With the return of our men from the front, and the better working of the farms, ' the position will be accentuated. To provide the accommodation £50,000 is wanted. You are invited to help the company and help yourself bytaking up shares of the issue. Apply at once for application forms to — THE SECRETARY, New Plymouth.

I REPAIRS ON PREMISES. I Deare’s Boot Arcade Devon St. New Plymouth ■ QN JURMS FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS THE New Plymouth Repatriation Committee invites the_ co-operation of farmers to train ex-soldiers in farming. The employer is required to pay them a wage of £1 a week and found, whilst the Committee pays an allowance to the men whilst receiving training of £1 per week, half of which is retained on his behalf by the Repatriation Department. It must be recognised that there is a duty cast on every member of the community to help the Returned Soldiers, who have risked all and suffered untold hardship to maintain freedom and justice. Without their efforts we would all be now in bondage and the farmers -would not be in possession of their fee simple. The Committee therefore appeals to the patriotism of the farmers to help the returned men to learn farming and equip them to become producers, the more of whom we have the greater the production, and the easier the burden caused by the war.
