FARMERS' EIGHTS
IMPORTANCE OF UNITY
. The necessity for :farmers to give ! their support to the_ Farmers' Union in order to secure their rights was urged by Mr. J. Roberts, president of the Hutt Valley section of the union, at the annual field day of the MakaraHutt Valley branch at Wallaceville on Friday. Mr. Roberts said that it was time the farmer took more interest in his own organisation. At present he was content to take what the public gave him. He was a most reasonable person, and it took little to satisfy him. With a united organisation, matters would soon be changed. . . . The women's division was a live body, and the men should follow that example. .Instead of going cap in hand to the authorities they should go like men and ask for what was their due. Mr. W. Nash, M.P. for Hutt, said that a union's yjolicy ,was what the members mado it, and farmers would only get their due when- they organised. He was satisfied that all the dairy products that could bo brought into existence in the next decade or oven the next half-century would not be too great if all the people. that wanted and needed theni .could get them. The problem was one of distribution. . Mr.: Nash emphasised the importance of farmers taking full advantage of the results, of scientific research.. ' . ■
