The Morayshire Farmeis' Club has recently been conducting an inquiry into the subject of agricultuial depression. Af f er having heaid the opinions of many 'other societies, the following 1 , resolution has been, adopted: — "That, for thems&lves, this Club, is of opinion that, while leases for fixed periods have been of much advantage to> agiiculture in time past, the altered circumstances of the country make them no longei necessaiy; that the best system of letting would be an arrangement for an indefinite period, with two yeais' notice to quit on either side, compensation being allowed to the tenant for all im provements that Inve added to the letting value of the farm, for unexhausted numuting, and ako for disturbi.no when notice of terminating the occupation is given by the proprietor ; compensation, on the other hand, being allowed to the piopiietor for injury done to the farm by the tenant ; 1 that for the satisfactory carrying out of this system an amended Agricultural Holdj ings Act is urgently requiied — an Act • which- would secure fair compensation both to proprietor and tenant by much less expensive machinery than the present one employs ; and that rents should be arranged" on the principle of rising and falling, to a greater and lesser extent, with prices of beef, mutton and grain, Sorno time ago (writes a contempoiary) wo published a receipt for washing clothes' with the aid of a little kerosene.
