EDITORIAL NOTES.
We wore very pleased on Friday last to have a visit from Mr Henry Rey nolds, whose name is so widely known in connection with the dairying indus try, and who at present is on a trip to the Colony, arranging certain details of management of his dairy factosies in the Waikato and other districts, and generally interesting himself' in colonial dairy matters. Mr Reynolds, who was accompanied by Mr Scott of the National Association, and Mr Robbins, the well-known factory pro prietor of Hawera, had just interviewed the Minister for Lands and Mr Ritchie in company with the two gentlemen above named, and had received an assurance from the Minister that ticular attention was being given by the Agricultural Department to the dairy industry. A Bill is to be brought in as speedily as possible to amend that measure in accordance with the resolu tions passed at the recent Dairy Con feronce at Dunedin, and at the Agri cultural Conference lately held in Wel lington.
