WAIROA, this day. ‘•ln. handing over our little nest egg to .the Government scheme we have every reason to toe proud of our efforts.’’ These remarks were made toy the chairman of the Wairoa County Group Herd Testing Association, Mr. A. T. Carroll, at the annual meeting on Saturday, when it was decided that the association, should disbanc and amalgamate with the Bay 0.l Plenty Herd Improvement Association.
It was decided that the .assets and liabilities should toe transferred to die Bay ot Plenty Herd Improvemen Association., and that 'the association be written to with a request that the Wairoa branch be allowed to retail* its former plant for .the purpose of development in the district of herd testing work. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £sl 6s 6d.

“The sum total of all our efforts' is that we finished up very financially,” said Mr. Carroll, who added that he thought the amalgamation of the associations was definitely the right s and to take. Those who desired to continue testing, in his opinion, would find the new scheme adequate. The only way to better the movement was to fail in line with the other larger associations.
