South Canterbury Move INDUSTRY’S FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES Dominion Special Service. TIMARU, March 17.

A decision to this effect was made at a meeting of the South Canterbury provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union in Timaru todav, when a committee comprising 'the presidents of°various branches was empowered to approach the agricultural and pastoral associations and Crown tenants’ association of the province and ascertain their attitude to the proposal and make necessary arrangements for a mass demonstration of all sections of the farming industry. The Minister of Agriculture- will be invited to attend and speakers will probably include the Dominion president of'the Farmers’ Union, Mr. Mulholland.
