A confidential letter from the president (Mr \V. J. I’olson) on the subject of the pi'oposal to establish agricultural banks for the farmers was placed beTore a meeting of the Marlborough Provincial Executive of the Fanners’ Union (states the Express). The writer requested Dial an urgent resolution should be passed, and forwarded to the Prime Minister, urging the provision of agricultural banks. The chairman (Mr 11. J. Stace) said he bad perused the letter, and was certainly not in favour of a resolution being rushed through at the president’s dictation. Replying to a query, Die secretary (Mr R. Wanden) described Die bank proposal as a "joint and several " affair. Participants pooled their properties to form security on which money was raised and advanced. If one man made a loss the remainder were compelled to share Ids misfortune. A member: ‘Tt would be a good thing for the wheat men.’’ It was decided that the correspondence be left to Messrs E. L. Murray and J. E. Neal to study and bring down a report. A Palmerston North poultry enthusiast (Mr C. J. Bryant) found in bis incubator the other day a freak chicken which had succumbed in its endeavours to free itself from the shell (relates the Malta* vvatu Daily Times). Although possessing only one diend and one heart, the curiosity had two complete bodies, each with a pair of wings and legs, and allother organs complete. It was hatched, from an ordinary single-yoked White Leghorn egg and was well developed. What may have happened if the twin chick had matured is open to speculation, but it is quite on the cards that a record-breaker for egg-laying- competiUoim might have startled the poultry world with a, break of two eggs a day!
