FARMERS' PROTEST.
(P.A.) CHRISTCHL'RCH, Wednesday
"It is a question whether the day of protest may not lie gone and whether action is needed." said Mr. A. M. Carpenter in a discussion on the Small Farms Amendment Bill by the executive of the North Canterbury district of the Farmers.' Union. "I feel that anything we move here will only be a protest. I have said to farmers that there will come a time when we shall have to make a stand, and whether that time is now I do not know." A resolution strongly protesting against the bill was passed as follows: —'"This executive, representing 24 branches from the Rakaia to the Conway, emphatically protects against the injustice of the Small Farms Amendment Bill at present before the House."
