FARMERS’ FEDERATION.
CO-OPERATION APPROVED. (Press Assn.) WELLINGTON, Juiy 16 The necessity for the several sections of primary producers’ organisations cuoperating' closely for the purpose of promoting the best interests of all producers was affirmed .bv the annual Dominion conference of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union to-day. when a remit on the subject was carried. The objective of complete unity should not be lost sight of, said Mj W. W. Mulholland (president). It was urgently necessary to get a very much closer link-up of primary producers’ organisations and this, apart from any consideration of the greater weight of opinion they would be able to bring to hear, just for the ordinary, eycr.v-dav activities which they had to carry out under war conditions. The chairman of the New Zealand Dairy Board (Mr W. E. Hale) emphasised the need for co-ordinating the primary industrial organisations! The principle of the proposal was right and that was all they should be concerned with at present. The conference also expressed the conviction that the future welfare of the primary industries of New Zealand was dependent on better and closer organisation of farmers and farmer organisations, and strongly urged that every primary producers’ annual conference and annual meeting should agree to the early establishment of a Farmers’ Federation.
