THE FARMERS' P*flON.

*(To the Editor.)

Sir,— From the neport of Mr C. X Major's speech delivered in the Opera House recently I am led" to believe that the members of the N.ZT Farmers' Union are accused of lamentable ignorance uveaydng tint Mr. Major broke his pledge to thej Uflioxi Te freehold versus leasehold. Ihe document hamded in to the delegates appointed by the various branches is still in existcncer and' speaks-fo^ itself. Speaking fov myself '4& 1 a member *bf the Union,, l adnut tha^Bo'fw'ie'leaißriing goes I am a •comparativelyignorant man, but myself «md_my feßow famera_aire possessed of 1 virtues which it would be well for Mr Major to emulate.— l am, otc., 1 JAMES DAVIDSON.
