FARMERS' UNION.

COXFEREXCE COXCLUDEU. A SCIIKMK TO ELIMINATE " SCRUBBERS." By Telegraph —Press Association. Marton, Last Night. At the Farmers' Union v.onrerince, which closed its session to-nig'ht, a system of inspection of stallioiw was urged. -Mr. C. .1. Reakes, Chief Veterinarian.' said he fully realised that something should be doiie to prevent unsound stallions travelling around the country. They could arrive at the end desired without pressing unduly hard on horse owners. Some practical and effective way of getting rid of the unsound stallion would have to be adopted. A voluntary system had been suggested, and this luid proved satisfactory up to a certain point. Jn Australia it was not ■possible to estimate the improvement effected by the scheme, until power »ad been given by legislation to prevent on limit the use of rejected or unsound] stallions. His belief'was that the vol- 1 untary system was useless. The scheme j he outlined was that examination should be made compulsory for stallions over three years of age. Such stallions could, of course, come up for examination if owners liked, with the exception of aged ihorscs. All hardships would be done away with after a few years. Of course all sires would have to come up for examination, and this" examination should be carried out by two vets, or two good judges of horses. They did not want scrubbers going around! It would be possible to establish a scheme of insurance against condemnation. Speaking of the dairying industry, Mr. Reakes said that when the present system was in thorough working order, he believed it would be found thoroughly effective. Mr. J. G. Wilson was re-elected president. The next conference will be held at Woodville.
