PERSONAL.
Mr E. E. Nicolson, of Dunedin, is paying a short business visit to Timaru. A Press Association message from Dargaville says that the Minister of Lands (Hon. G. W. Forbes), and Departmental officers arrived on Sunday evening, and with the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, member for Kaipara, is engaged in an extensive tour of the district. He will leave for the north, via Waipouoa forest and Rawene this morning, going right round the Peninsula, returning to Whangarei at the week-end.
Among the passengers by the Maheno, which arrived at Bluff yesterday. was Mr C. L. Gillies, Chief Agronomist of the Tasmanian Government Department of Agriculture. Mr Gillies, who is an old boy of the Timaru High School, visited New Zealand last year with a party of Tasmanian farmers, and is highly eulogistic of the value of the tour to Tasmanian agriculture. He will leave Invercargill for the north this morning, and will shortly join ship at Wellington for America, where he will study all phases of agricultural education. Mr Gillies has been granted twelve months’ leave of absence by the Tasmanian Government for that purpose.
