AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. should lie made against lifting tlie embargo until England had been free o£ foot-and-mouth disease for two years. Mr Lynch said the farmers had a capable, efficient, and watchful vofficer in 13v. 0. J. EoalvCß looking after their interest, and ha should not be subject to the recommendations of a Board of Agriculture, which was merely pleasing a small coterie. He expressed the hopo that the farmers would unite in a very solid protest against tho lifting o£ tlio embargo. LIFTING OP EMBARGO. ENGLISH LIVE STOCK. RESOLUTION OF PROTEST. "I consider that tho risk being run by the primary industries of this country is too great to warrant the importation of live stock from England," declared the president (Mr L. B. Wall) at the meeting of the General Committee of the Manawatu and Weßt Coast A. and P. Association recently, when he voiced strong opposition to the lifting of the embargo on account of the danger of admiting foot-and-mouth disease. "While I sympathise with breeders seeking fresh blood," ho added, "it would not be a farming slump if tho disease got into New Zealand, but a national disaster." Mr A. 0. Morton said that further steps should bo taken to insist that all straw packing coming into New Zealand should bo sterilised. Mr D. Buchanan agrood, stating that matters were lax. Mr L. H. Collinson said that all packing from England was accompanied by a declaration concerning its immunity from various infections. Professor Peren suggested that no packing of straw or similar materials from other countries should be permitted, if that was practicable. Mr Morton said he understood that the regulations at present prohibited the importation of packing, which had been grown, such as hay, etc. Scientists were baffled concerning tho origin of tho foot-and-mouth bacteria. There should be no laxity in New Zealand in dealing with imported ingMr Collinson said that straw packing caiuo from all over the world. Professor Peren sMd ha regarded tho Continent as tho danger spot. "I would like to endorse all that lias been said regarding tho seriousness of the risk through tho lifting of tho embargo," stated Mr Lancaster. Mr Buchanan: We have a clean country, and let us keep it so. The committee then passed the following resolution: "This Association views with alarm the request from the Board of Agriculture to the Government to remove tho embargo on live' stock from tho Lnitod Kingdom, and urgently requests the Government not l to remove the same; further, that no hay, straw, or kindred materials from overseas bo allowed to come into the country." IMPORT OF STOCK. FEAR OF DISEASE. Tho meeting of farmers and others interested in farm matters from all parts of the Manawatu in Palmeraton North last vtek further discussed; the proposal by tho Board of Agriculture to , remove the embargo placed on livo stock imports some years ago for fear of the introduction 01 foot and-mouth disease. Mr W. A. Waters stated that as a youth ho was settled with his father in the Argentine Their property carried 500 head of Hereford stock before the advent of tho disease, and within three months 450 head had been shot and burned. It was appalling in its incidence ond if ever it broke out ill the Kairanga tho only remedy would be to cut the throat of every animal within a radius of 15 miles. Mr O P. Lynch (the chairman) moved the following resolution: — "That this cohibined meeting of tho Ne-v Zi aland Farmers' Union and Dairy Farmers' Union strenuously protests against the action of the Board of Agriculture in agpin requesting the removal of restrictions on the importation of live stock from Great Britain, thereby leaving New Zealand liable to the importation of that fell foot-and-mouth disease. We would stress that this Board ask for the removal of restrictions last year, averring that no disease had occurred for two years, while in reality 1 three fresh cases were proclaimed at that time." Mr H. Gioyn (Rongotea) seconded, saying that ho had had the dread experience of dealing with the disease in Devon All stock within a circle thirty miles in diameter had to be destroyed or kept exactly where it was.

Tho resolution was carried unanimously. REMOVAL OF EMBARGO OPPOSED. WELLINGTON, April 16. "The New Zealand Farmers' union bas been consistently opposed to the lifting of the present embargo on imported stock," said Colonel W. Pow, secretary of the union. He said that he had noted that tho Board of Agriculture had passed a recommendation favouring the raising' of tho embargo, but he had written to the Minister asking that nothing definite be dono as yet, at least until the question could be discussed fully as a meeting of the Farmers' Union executive early next month. Colonel Pow added that the Union had always looked upon relaxing any regulations governing the importation of cattle with disfavour and would strenuously opposa the recommendation of the Board of Agriculture.
