THE LAND.
It is imperative that tho unoccupied lands shall be brought into cultivation and profit, and the Government will be false to their trust if they fail to bring down some scheme by which this may be done. It is of no use to tinker with the subject, and the Government cannot relieve themselves of their responsibility by offering 400 farms and then sitting down to admire their own energy. The matter should be dealt, with comprehensively and boldly, with a single eye to the one object—the extension of settlement. Increased production may also be obtained by tho wider diffusion of a knowledge of modern scientific methods, and these two objects might well engage the combined and earnest attention of the Farmers’ Union and tho A. and P. Associations, with a view to bringing Parliamentary pressure to hear on the Government.—Christchurch “Press.”
