The dairy cow population of Denmark is almost the same as that of New Zealand—l,7o2,oo0 —but while the number of cows under test in New Zealand in 1930 was only 259,000, being 15.26 per cent, of the total, in Denmark nearly 40 per cent, were under test. The average butterfat production per tested cow in Denmark in 1930 was 27 0 pounds, while in New Zealand the average production was 241 pounds. “Our political leaders avoid intelligent analysis of economic conditions by using slogans, one being that ‘Wo must cultivate the spirit of the oh} pioneers.’ This is unfair. If the early pioneers, when they landed in this colony, had been advised that it had 80,000 unemployed, £300,000,000 of national debt, noxious weeds in every hill and vale, they would have scrambled aboard their ships again “and looked for pastures new.’’ —Colonel Closey at Ngaruawahia. Writing to his parents in Dunedin, a young New Zealand engineer now domiciled in England states that there are fewer unemployed in the Old Country at present than there have been for the last two years. In industry generally, he said, there was a definite brightening of outlook, and it only required the lifting of the depression which hovered over the coalfields to bring about an improvement thiil; would be marked by very beneficial results to the community.

As £1.50 lias been already expended and the campaign now being carried on to raise funds ijs expected to provide upwards of £2QO no difliculty is likely to be experienced in complying with the conditions imposed by the parent union. "There are many modern anomalies in our modern social system,’’ said Professor J. Shelley in an address to the Philosophical Institute of Contcrbury recently (reports the Press). “A man pulls a funny face in a Birmingham factory and ip dismissed. He goes straight to the studios of Los Angeles, pulls a funny face there, and draws a salary of 60,000 dollars a year. Why? Because many persons in the world have become so depressed that they want to see a funny face, and we have developed means of communication by which, if they pre prepared to pay for the privilege, they cpp gee this particular funny face.’'

A number of geophysical and geographical surveys are to be undertaken immediately under arrangements made with various mining interests which desire the information obtainable by these scientific methods. The range of the surveys will extepd from Murchison right down the Coast, reports the Grey River Argus.” Dr. E. JVlarsdep points out that the geophysical methods cap be used for the location of anti-oiinal crests, the mapping of sub-eurfaco structure, and the location of igneous cores or intrusions, mineralised rocks and ore bodies, the mapping of faults and of alluvial deposits, and tracing water-boring beds. He suggests that it must be emphasised that geophysical methods are not magical, but when the work is dope ip close collaboration with geologists apj miners with knowledge of the district, It can be of eporpiQjis help in indicating the best localities for tunnelling or boring.
