INGLEWOOD AFFAIRS

YOUNG FARMERS MEET At the monthly meeting of the Inglewood Young Farmers' Club Mr. J. Stachurski presided over a poor attendance, only eight members being present. The district seeretary of the Young Farmers' Club, in reply to a request for information as to when trees ordered under the centennial tree-planting scheme would arrive, stated that no advice had been received and he suggested that if trees were difficult to obtain through the scheme" the club should purchase them from a local source. After considerable discussion it was decided to purchase trees to the value of £3. Members are to plant them at the Inglewood school grounds next Thursday afternoon. Reference was made by several members to attendances at club meetings.
