McLeavey returned thanks for election as vice-president at the annual meeting. The chairman reported upon the recent Provincial conference, held at Wanganui. In"that connection, Mr. H. Bond Regretted that certain matters affecting the dairying industry had been passed over. That was not fair.
Th'e chairman explained that the reason was that the remits referred to were -so controversial at the present time, when the matter of control was in the air. It was thought better to let .sleeping dogs 'question of disregarding the dairy farmers," added Mr. Lynch.
Mr. Bond: My impression of Wanganui was that it was a sheep-breeders' conference. The chairman: It is silly to talk like that. The dairy farmers could outvote th'e sheepmen by ten to one if they only joined up with their branches.
