FARMERS’ ORGANISATION.
The provincial organiser of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, Hr Tancred Cooper, is meeting with a splendid response in his provincial tom*. To date Mr Cooper has visited Feilding, Wanganui, Waverley, Marton, Huntorville, Mangaweka, and Raetihi, and in all eases the meetings were successful, and the branches named unanimously an greed to raise their subscription, as has been done in this district. The Raetihi branch is establishing a fine precedent in that, at a further cost of two or three guineas per member per annum, it lifts made arrangements to build an institute to eater for members’ wives and children. The latter-will thus have a comfortable resting place to go to when visiting the King Country centre. The project is a very worthy one. The fact of a farmers’ club already being established in Raetihi made the proposal, remarked Mr Cooper to a newspaper reporter, all the more striking.
Mr Cooper states that the Raetihi farmers are proud of the union, and are fostering it in eveiw way. His visit there was very pleasurable, and he cites the Raetihi branch as an example of the great ideal to which he hopes to raise all branches in the Wellington province.
