“BACK TO THE LAND.”
“Back to the land!” is a cry which might Well be raised in New T Zealand and echoed throughout the length and breath of the Dominion.

Our endeavor should be to create —as they are endeavoring to create in England—a peasant class. I' e might be able to do this with our present unemployed, because a man to be a successful farmer needs both education and practice in.his calling. But we might be able to use the unemployed as the forerunners of toilers going back to the land;—“Taranaki Herald.’'
