REPLIES TO REMITS.
NEW ZEALAND FARMERS’ UNION Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 28. An intimation was given by the Minister of Finance in a Tetter to the New Zealand Farmers’ Union that the Government does not intend to reintroduce the rebate on rates on rural lands allowed before the passing of the Mortgagors’ Rehabilitation Act. The letter is in reply to a remit from the Dominion executive of the Farmers’ Union asking the Government to consider the renewal of the per cent, rebate on county rates.
The Minister of Education, replying to another Farmers’ Union remit urging the Government to make the fullest use of the farm-training schools, gave an assurance that he recognised the value of sound training in farming methods under approved conditions and that it might do much to encourage young people to remain or settle on the land. The question of the extension of the scheme and establishment of more farm-training schools would he carefully considered “in the light of the success that attends present efforts, especially in regard to the placing of boys first on farms where they can be adequately trained, and secondly on farms of their own.”
