SUB TROPICAL INDUSTRIES AMD SMALL HOLDINGS.

At the Industrial Exhibition on Friday even ing, MrG. B. Feberli delivered a very interest ing address on "Sub-tropical Industries ■and Small Holdings." There was ti good attendance, JfJ. , <•}. Fi;aser oqcypierj tl}c chair. Mr Federli said that the opportuni ties that he had Jμ the extreme North and South of, New Zealand enableii ljim to : observe the immense resources of this colony. He was in a position to perceive there capabilities and resources which lie saw throughout Italy, a epuntry j very similar to New Zealand in soil and climate. The great question of the day for New Zealand was the settlement of the land and development of our 'in dustries. In connection with tho sofcfcle inent of the land, he claimed credit for the success that had attended the founding of eett'.ements in the far North three years JMjo. Unfortunately, many of the people placed on the land in the far North had not; peen bpna fde, settlers, and hud only been squatting on theland. Some who had tiotfcled there. 40 years ago had not cultivated even vegetables, for which they sent to Auck-j land, a distance of 140 miles. The country was now fully awake to the necessity for settling people on the land. The Govern ment'had moved in the matter,-and had done something in that direction; there were two parties in the field, but it appeared ihat both arrived at the same end.and they only differed as to the questions of ways arid meaus. Another important point was as to what the settlers were going to do when put on the land. The fanners cried out against the present system of putting settlers on the land, beoause the latter got their land for nothing and were assisted in its cultivation. They consequently could not compete with them without sustaining a loss. What had to be done was to induce the establishment of ■new industries which would not clash with the present occupations of the farmers- For instance, we were nowimpovtingoil, which he found could be produced in large and pay able quantities from olives grown anywhere between Hokianga and Wellington. In proof of - this* contention he exhibited a sample of oil obtained from olives grown by Dr. Campbell in this province. Thi3 oil, he said, was quite equal to the best oil produced in Lucca, which *wa3: considered to be the besb oil in the world. .With the proper maohinery and skilled labour this industry alone would mean millions of pounds yearly to this coun try. If we produced olive oil we should have a market not only here, bub in Enrope. In this industry for the future generation there would be -niillions. Another important in? .dustry was tifrat of vine?growing*y and then there was that of silk culture.' This was an industry especially suited to New Zea land. In the United States, great efl'orte were made to push this industry. They started fifty years ago, .but they had not gone the right way about it, and the con eequence was' that labour was poorly paid. It was, however, hot an industry for badly fed or poorly clad people, but was a profitable and paying industry, and could be carried on in conjunction with other industries. Some years tijjo he had sug gested that the 1,200 children in the In dustrial Sohools should be placed on two farms, one North and one South, and obtain skilled labour to instruct the ohildren in these tiqw industries. Hβ proposed that »f ter the h'rst two years they should be paid fior their labour, and at the age of 21 yearp they would.be aJblo to take up tarms of their own. As usual, however, the matter wafe allowed' to fall to' the! ground. Now, what would become of the special village settlers? ?Efcey were well placed on the land, and in large blocks, and he approved of thp system, for the reason that they could combine 'towards placing their products-hrir marketable condition. The difficulty awse as to how these settlers were tostarbsuchindußtri.es. The proper course was to introduce a few families from the south of Europe and get them to get the industries thoroughly established. Mr -Federli exhibited some tobacco leaf grown at Hokionga, for which he had been offered Is 6d per lb, whilst the ordinary price given in the colony was 6d a lb. The settlers could not compete with the South in. grow ing potatoes. If they all went in for grow ing potatoes, the market -tfould soon be glutted and they would in time be unable to get a market for their produce. There fore it was necessary to establish these other industries in producing tobacco, olives and silk with the assistance of skilled labour from the South of Europe. He was not far wrong when he said that the backbone of Auckland was the North. It was capable of carrying a large population, and he asked what was the use of having manufactures for ploughs and for boots and shoes, etc., .unless they had the people in the country to use them ? Mr Federli next referred to the cheese-producing of the South Island, and expressed wonder that more .enterprise , had not been shown in producing an article similai' and equal in all respects to the most valued cheese in various pkrts of the world. At <the request of one of the audience, Mr Federli also explained how .to treat diseased virieswith sulphur. He explained •that it was necessary to obtain a good flour ■ of sulphur.and a pair of bellows with a very ' long tube, which could go close between the leaves of the vine. A sunny day ehould be chosen for the first applica tion, and if rain fell soon afterwards the ex periment should be repeated. On each oc casion the whole vine leavesand stems should be covered with the sulphur, and if this sys tem were properly carried out it would effectually cure the disease in one season. At the close of his lecture Mr Federli re- v ceived a hearty vote of thanks, and the Chairman stated that it was intended to have other lectures in connection with the Exhibition at f jiture d(vte§.

Local Retrenchment.

(To the .Editor.)

Sir,—The requisition to D. Goldie, Esq., asks him 66 'stand for City West on 'account of his iioble endeavours to .secure ecPnopiy in the various public bodies to ■which he has belonged. i trust be.fore' any : elector pledges himself that lie will look carefully into the way oui pubjic bodies practise economy, It is! all very line on, the eve of an election to raise the cry of retrenchment,; but what • ljave they been doing during the past IB months ? Take the Board cji' Education; at its'last meeting it was jproposed to reduce the salaries of some schoolmasters to L4OO, so that they might feel 'something pf the present depression. Up to the present they have been paid the sanie as if we were in the most prosperous position. Father may have been out of Work for months, and, be cause the children cannot take the quarter's fee, they must b'ji punished, kepfc'in.j and because the parent is worried and cJoes not know what to do to find bread, and cannot bring his mind to help the schoolmaster by seeing the children do their night work, he ie to be blamed. These men who work five, days a week, and ten months'in the year for L45Gj might be contesnt theses' times with L 350, and then they will not know much abctot hard times. Mr Goldio might have, thought of this before. Or take the Harbour Board.! I suppose everyone knows -how djull - the ; shipping , hasj been. by seeing; the number. '< of "vessels laj.d 'Want' of. >York, What reduction have the B.pard marie?' Tljsy stopped Is a day from men who were getting 9s and Bs, and two or three itfonths after gave a. lap! -L2OO a year as assistant engineer. Has the Treasurer, -'Harbour-master, Engi? neer, or any of the high paid onea had tq give up one sixpence ? Not even on the, Qiiefiafi J«l?iJee Pay- But'if rumour speaks true, spme of the employees had to forfeit their (lay's work on that occasion. If this is what is meant by the noble en deavours bf Some to secure economy, we can well aftprd to do without it. Thq same may be said of the City Council. No lpatter whether the owner gets his rent or not, ..the -rates; must be paid, ancj the Town plerjk. and all < his ptafF paid just ..the same a& if thp r qity was in a most flourishing state. Retrenphment,, like charity, n>ust commence at hpnie, and no member of any public bpdy would I send to Wellington to preach retrenchment until they practised {t at home. One might as well expect to find figs on thistles. W.

Oyster Fisheries.

(To the Edi'tpr.)

Srii, The sweeping Order-jh-Cpuncil pro" claiming certain portions pf our coasts closed against the oystermen was, in the opinion of a great many ■ persons who are acquainted with the subject, & great mie-, take. Certainly it has' done > one thing effectually—killed the, pjeport trade in oys ters, and thrown idle a lot of men, thereby swelling the ranlcs of.the uneuipjpyed.... As to the enclosing of Rangitota within the prohibition '1in0 , , , there never was any neces sity for so' doing. . Although there are tens of thousands of oysters, tliey are not of a marketable size. -They gfrow in such thick clusters, leaving no room for their proper development, or there" is sbme other cause which stunts tlieit" growth. I believe the former to be the cause ; hence, it I am right, -instead of punishing people for taking a few, it would be better to encourage them to thin them out. Besides, the prohibition was aimed at the oystormen and those portipns of the whgre, it was said, they destroyed recklessly.; At .any; rate, ,'the , ; oyfitflrmejy neyer obtained their cargoes from Rangitoto, neithea* would they go there now if tlietapu was removed to-morrow, hence tliere was no. necessity to' •' prbclaim'' Rangitoto Avithiri tlie pi'ohibited boinjdary. Looking at all the circumstances, I think the receht pr'ose cutipjTi of the nature of ■pe/i'siculion- notwithstanaing the law in the niatteiy for. ; a . }aw that can serve no good purpose is not wanted, or is only, used in a tyrannical spirit.' I do think that it is a pity the Commis sioner of Customs canno'f "find" something more profitable for his mien and lauiicl} to do than to employ them and it toJiarass poor unfortunate people who in these hard times desire to eke out a living by getting a .few oysters, from, the many thpusands of bushels ; and which would otherwise waste —Yours, etc., Live and Let Lra:
