Ross was reappointed president and Mr G. M. Whitclock (Palmerston North) and Mr I. G. M.orrison (Whangarei), vice-presi-dents. The following form the executive : Messrs H. L. West, H. T. Thurston, and D. M. Whitelock. The embargo on the importation of pigs was criticised by the president, who considered that English quarantine conditions were a sufficient safeguard. The advanced registration scheme proposed by the Government was discussed and the opinion expressed that the Government should bear the expense, as it was collecting a levy on pigs. Strong exception was taken to a suggestion that pigs offered at a private stud pig breeder’s sale should be inspected and passed before being sold. It was resolved that the incoming council circulate among branches a scheme that could be easily operated.
