labour and domestic servants in Government immigration scheme ; free entry of Indian coolies into New Zealand ; exchange of produce and open market for wheat; representation of agricultural and pastoral associations at conferences affecting the farming interests ; live-stock-branding schemes ; examination of stallions ; High Commissioner's weekly market cablegram ; judging demonstrations on farm live-stock ; encouragement to importers of pedigree stock ; and importation into Great Britain of New Zealand stud stock. The Board has at its meetings had the advantage of your presence and assistance, and desires to express its thanks for your careful consideration of the many points of a confidential nature which have arisen during the discussions. The Board owes much to the fact that the Director-General of Agriculture has been present at all our meetings. His experience and sound judgment have been of great advantage in furthering the business the Board had to deal with. The discussions regarding the internal working of the Department have been necessarily of a confidential character, but we are not without the hope that these have been of assistance to Dr. Reakes in helping him in the successful reorganization of the Department since he has been Director-General of Agriculture. I have, &c, James G. Wilson, President of the Board.
