Parish at the Farmers’ Union conference in Christchurch last week. “In that case they go from farm to farm looking for something to eat.” He proposed a remit on behalf of the Oxford branch, “That Parliament be asked to “bring down legislation making it compulsory that all dogs should be tied up or otherwise put under control after dark.” Some delegates said they had trouble through sheep being worried by stray dogs. Mr. W. W. Mulholland said the enforcement of any rule would be difficult. Finally, the remit was referred to the incoming executive.
