Holford, director of the Fertiliser Advisory Service, New Zealand,” states a news article in a recent number of the Belfast "Telegraph.” Mr Holford, who left New Zealand last May to visit America and Great Britain, where he has attended conferences on agricultural matters, has some associations with the north of Ireland, according to the article, for his mother came from Belfast, and Mrs Holford’s mother was also born ir Ulster. Mrs Holford, moreover, is a grand-niece of John Ballance, a former Premier of the Dominion, also a native of Ulster. Mr and Mrs Holford visited the birthplace of Ballance, whom Mr Holford described to the “Telegraph” as being "generally acknowledged to be one of the ablest Prime Ministc ; the count, has seen.” They met Mr John Ballance, one of the surviving members of the family.
