I r- | “I suppose you have head the deti- | unions of ‘a statesman’ and 'a politi|eian,’ ” remarked .Mr. .T. S Barton io a Gisborne audience: ‘‘that a statesman looks to the next generation while the politician looks only to the next election. (Laughter. > I have

heard another definition that bears upon the point we are upon, and that Is that a politician looks to the next elect ion, but leaves his account to the next generation. ” Speaking til Dunedin, Mr. Massey dealt' with the condition of the markets | lor beef wool, and other produce, and predicted more prosperous times ahead, especially in regard to crossbred wool. He urged the sheepfarmers to endeavour • to increase their flocks, which had falI len considerably what they had been | numerically. He said there was no i royal road to prosperity: it was only .won by hard work, energy, industry and I I enterprise. ! i ' I 1 i Thi re. is. an excellent prospect of a' : profitable export trade being establish 'cd in .Wairarapa slud sheep with North | ami South America (utiites the “Wai- ! larapti Daily Times”). Seine consider;::bi time ago American breeders realist ml the high quality of Wairarapa stud I sheep, with the result that several ship- ' merits have been made. Now American Iniyi'is are. inquiring for Wairunipa (.'or riedales, and it is probaldy chat, an export trade of considerable importance '■will bo opened up with this breed of ' sht ep. There is, however, a stumbling block the matter of freight. The cost , of i,-. l:iio. a consignment of New Zea- : land sheep to the I'niied States Of Ameiriea.is so heavy that American breeders t in the end may be foi.-ed to look nearer I home for vvhat they require. Recently la number of Wnirnnipn breeders sent, ti I trial shipment of purebred sheep to i America, and the freight amounted to | £22 per head. Such a charge is out i of all reason, and much prove highly do- , trimental to any attempt to establish an export trade between the Dominion and America.
