Mr. A. L. D. Fraser, who was voted to the ohair in the unavoidable absence of the president, delivered an address. Mr. Eraser stated 'that it appeared to him' that there never was a time in. the history of New Zealand when it was more necessary for farmers to unite than at present, and ho therefore considered that it was regrettable to see a falling-off of interest in the union in various parts of the "Dominion. There was, for instance, still much to do and to watch regarding the land question. Mr. Eustace Lane was elected president. The remits agreed to, for forwarding to the Dominion Conference, included ono in favour of the formation of cooperative meat freezing companies by farmers.
