FARMERS' UNION.

DOMINION'S EXECUTIVE MEETS.

(PRESS ASSOCIATION TEHGIAM.)

WELLINGTON, October 29,

The . Farmers' Union Executive niceting ondorsed a protest from Auckland against unfair preferential taxation of debenture income as against mortgage income. Another remit from Auckland was that -when a settler had made application for a loan under the-Advances to Settlers Act, and had paid the valuation fee, a copy of the valuation should be supplied to the applicant.. It was agreed to give all possible assistance to ,the State Forest Service.

It tras decided to request the Meat Board's representative in England to furnish the Union with particulars of the requirements of the bacon market there with a view to .guiding the pigraisers of the Dominion.

Some discussion took place with regard to the importation of fowl wheat duty free, and a motion was carried, by 11' votes to 7, urging the Government to allow 1,000,000 bushels of

wheat in yearly to the North Island duty free. After further discussion, however, it was decided to defer sending in the resolution in the hope that ponltrymen and the growers would be able to come to some agreement.

A remit from the Dominion Conference, '' that the Government be urged to establish a course in veterinary science at the University of New Zealand to enable New Zealandcrs to obtain • the necessary training and diploma, as veterinary surgeons," was discussed. Dr. C. J. Eeakcs, Director of Agriculture, said there was not enough scope for the introduction of such a course, and that the country was not large enough. What they wanted was legislation to prevent any unregistered man from calling himself a veterinary surgeon.

In reply to a question by Mr J. D. Hall, Dr. Keakes made a brief statement on the subject of agricultural education. There was, he said, a commission to sit at Lincoln College, but the commission was not yet appointed. It had been stated in the House that the commission would consider "the needs of the provinces. Mr Hall desired to know whether farmers would bo represented on the commission.

In considering the position, said Dr. Eeakes, it had to be borne in mind'that Lincoln College had thought of the requirements of the North Island and the South Island in conjunction. He thought that farmers should be represented.
