BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
BOYS' AGRICULTURAL CLUBS. LIGHTER WIRES IN FENCES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. The importance of furthering the movement in connection wil.li the initiation of boys' agricultural flubs, as carried on in Taranaki by I tic Fanners' Union, was emphasised before a meeting of the Board of Agriculture, and the scheme has the Board's hearty support. It is proposed to circularise the A. and P. Associations urging the formation of clubs in different parts of the Dominion where such do not exist. A suggestion was placed before the Board to have the Fencing Act amended to permit the use of lighter wire than is specified in the construction of a ''sufficient" fence. This received full consideration, but the Board is of opinion that further lengthy tests of lighter wire are required to establish the claims made for it before any alteration is made in the Act.
