AUCTIONS. H. JdATSON ANE CO. WHEAT OB LIVE STOCK? BANBURY F.U. CHAIRMAN CRITICISES fiEAWJUABTEBS' BECOMMEMDATIOin B. was criticism of ti»e N.F.U. policy resolutions when, the Banbury F.U. luct on April 3rd, Mr A. P. McLougal pre- • tiding. The secretary ro»d the resolut.ons passed at the Council meeting in London, the. first being that the Union should remain unconnected with political parties; with this Ihc meeting agreed. Whan it came to the one advocating a 55b guarantee for wheat, the chairman said he regretted to say he felt in a di&icult position because, as their chairman, he could not accept that resolution. At any rate, ho could not give his personal support tq it. He was very well aware that at the present moment wheat was becoming very much in the political and agricultural outlook, but it did not loom in the statistical output. Only 6 per cent, of the total produce of Ihe farm was represented in wheat, whereas live stock Was represented by 7Q per cent. His strong opinion was that, though live stock may be joss unremunerative than wheat growing at 86s or 363 a quarter, he had no assurance that it would lons remain loss unremunerative on the output. HARMFUL TO AGRICULTURE. The fact was they had allowed wheat to become oi no consideration to the average farmer, and even it they got wheat prices guaranteed to 655, the result would be very harmful to agriculture in general. Be, believed it would be the means oi creatine a prairie system of farming on lands in the eastern •orjntties and on the"downlands, where they could produce wheat with motor power and lather modern methoda of machinery at »■_.!_ i 'prices and get a very i lands would be turned ... ~, 3 with about one man to SOQ acres He asked, what did wheat represent tq the average farmer? Most of "the idvantage wouUT go to the eastern counties. Mr George Gibbard said he waa sorry to totally disagree with* practically everything tfcfl <Jh»irman had said. He was at the Council meeting in London when the resolution' was'passea "with great unanimity. They ■were often told that agriculturists did not know what they wanted, that they had got »il *ort»qf policies, but at this council meeting, at which every county in England was represented, they passed that resolution un•nimoufly. After further discussion, it was decided to take a vote, and Mr Baker proposed that the policy propounded by headquarters bo •porpved. The resolution, when put to the meeting, •was carried unanimously;, the chairman not taking part ty the voting.
