Greater Efficiency Addressing the schools on the work of the extension division, Mr Hamblyn said that it was advisory service which dealt with local problems and carried out experimental work on them. It could not, however, go round asking individual farmers what their special problems were and offering to solve them. The division expected farmers to bring their problems to it, and it would then give them every help in its power. In an address on wool shed design, Mr R. Montgomery, sheep and wool instructor at Hastings, said that improvement of shearing shed layout had enabled the same shearers each to shear 20 more sheep in a day and the same shed hands each to handle 30 more fleeces. The horticultural instructor at Gisborne, J. D. Overbye, spoke on kumaras, soil mulching and fruit trees. Mr E. B. Smythe, of Gisborne, spoke at Rere
and Tolaga Bay, on the production of beef cattle and the requirements as to branding and earmarking of the new Stock Act, and Mr G. Wilson, of Opotiki, spoke on these subjects at Te Araroa. Mr E. A. Madden, agrostologist at Palmerston North, spoke on the improvement of hill country pastures.
