Warning the Pabmees' Union—Mr John Koberts, C. M, G., speaking at a luncheon to members of the Agricultural Conference, warned them not to adopt anything m the way of a political platform. It had been suggested that they should follow the example of the farmers' Vnion, but he was of opinion that the Farmers* Union would produce a great deal of irritation by making itself a political organisation. He thought that moral suasion would accomojlosh more for the agricultural and pastoral industry ifchan any political platform would accomplish., tf c hoped jfchat jbhe Committee -of Management whfch jjad b^een set up to giye effect to the decisions of the conference would do so by majring represenfcajbiQnjj to the Governm#nt persisting m tb,em tfll their requests were complied with. If one Minister waa unfavourable, lefc them try another. Mr Eitchie, of the Agricultural Department, had expressed a great willingness to assist the conference, and he thought they could count on his support and on the support of the officers of the Agricultural Department.
