TO THE EDITOR ®F THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL. SIK, —I hope that Sir George Grey will be successful in his efforts to establish an agri cultural college in the Auckland province. From a personal knowledge of local require ments I do not hesitate to say that such an in stitution would be productive of inestimable good, both as regards the improvement of pre vailing systems of cultivation and the science of agriculture generally. Every member of the House ought to manifest bis desire for the progress of the colony by voting in favor of the proposal. The Bchool at .Lincoln, under the able scientific an l practical directorship of Professor W. E. Ivey, F.1.C., has proved a success in every way, and there can be no doubt of its future fame throughout Austra lasia. The North Island requires a similar establishment, and my earnest wish is that it may get it through the instrumentality of Sir George Grey.—l am, &c., R. VV.
