The official opening of the Dominion Conference of the Women's Division of the Farmers' Union was performed to-day before a large gathering of delegates by the Mayoress (Mrs. T. C. A. Hislop). Mrs. C. K. Wilson, Dominion president, welcomed the Mayoress and visitors, Mrs. Hislop said the increase in membership of uearly • 2000 not only showed increasod interest in the work done, but was also a great source of encouragement. Greetings were extended to the division by representatives of Women's Institutes, Plunket Society and Red Cross Society and by Mrs. W. Lee Martin. Both the Farmers' Union and Women's Division had taken an important step forward this year, said Mrs. Wilson in an address, and seemed more compact und aecure, yet neither was quite satisfied with the position at present. The world 's products wero practically at the command of the people, and farmers' wives nceded to aslc themselves wliether this progress was going to ciaitu its vietinis, i'or might not the farmers still have to feed the world under cost. "We must be ready to fight," she added, "make sacrificcs to bettor our conditious, hold together and stand by our bread and butter,"
