Friday. .\t the Auckland provincial conference of the Flu-mors‘ L‘nion yesterday there was surprisingly little discus—sion on :1 remit sponsorml by Franklin \ and Bay of Plentg~ to the effect that the Government- he urged to make the eradication of ragwort a national undertaking. preferably by at financial grant to the anthron Institute. The remit was formally moved by Mr A. J. \Vills, Pokeno. who said eradication of I ragwort was now not merely the problem for the individual farmer, but for the whole Dominion. Mr S. N. Ziman explained that the Cawthron Institute \“‘tS purely u research station and that it was not at' present a part of its duties to under—take such work as [hat mentioned in the remit. Any criticism of the institute for not having carried out. the work mentioned was quite unjustified It the grant were made the scope of the institute's work would have to be widened. 't‘hc remit. was taken as two separate motions and both were ram-led.
