UNIFYING FARM INTERESTS
THE setting up of an organisation to be known as the Bay of Plenty Primary Producers Association, with the avowed purpose of making its membership compulsory to all primary producers has provided farmers in the Bay with some-t thing new for mental reflection. The movement has already found much favour in the Te Puke and Tauranga districts and is also gaining adherants in the Waikato. The! sponsors claim that only by unification can the farmers of this country become strong enough to demand their just rights and protect their own interests. The representations of the man on the land, have in the past, it is claimed lacked backing and punch merely because of the divided ranks of the primary producers. The only way to correct; this, it is argued, is to borrow a leaf from the workers in all' other walks of life in this country and make membership compulsory. The first meeting takes place at Edgecumbe, details of which appear in to-day's issue.
