FARMERS’ MEETING
South Island Conference
(By Telegraph.-r-Press Association.) TIMARU, May 17. A conference of 60 or 70 delegates of the South Island Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers Union convened by the Otago executive opened at Timaru today. The delegates split up in the morning into sub-committees, which discussed manpower problems and meat, wool, grain and dairy aspects of farming. The president of the South Canterbury executive, Mr. D. V. Talbot, welcomed Mr. A. P. O’Shea, Dominion secretary, and expressed his wishes for the success of the conference. Mr \ C. Cameron ((Dunedin), convener" of the arrangements committee, said the conference in no way showed disloyalty to the Dominion conference. It was evident however to all delegates who attended the conference at Wellington that the decisions arrived at represented the North Island view. This was only natural when two-thirds or more of the delegates came from the North Island, lie hoped that the committees would be in a positiou to place representations before the Minister of Agriculture tomorrow.
