FARMERS' PROBLEMS
SOUTH ISLAND CONFERENCE p.A. TIMARU, May 17. A conference of 60 or 70 delegates of the South Island Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union convened by the Otago executive opened at Timaru today. The delegates split up in the morning into sub-com-mittees, which discussed man-power problems and meat, wool, grain, and dairy aspects of farming. The president of the South Canterbury executive, Mr. L. V. Talbot, welcomed Mr. A. P. O'Shea, Dominion secretary,, and expressed his wishes for the success of the conference. Mr. A. C. Cameron (Dunedin), convener of the arrangements committee, said the conference in no way showed disloyalty to the Dominion conference. It was evident, however, to all delegates who attended the conference at Wellington that the decisions arrived at represented the North Island view. This was only natural when twothirds or more of the delegates came from the North Island. He hoped that the committees would be in a position to place representations before the Minister of Agriculture tomorrow. ________^___
