VOICE OF FARMERS
THE UNION'S STANDINGS MINISTER'S RECENT REMARK RESENTMENT EXPRESSED [BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION'] BLENHEIM, Friday _ "I think the Minister should mind his own confounded business, and leave the farmers' affairs to the Minister concerned with that department," declared Mr. A. V. Badman at a meeting of the Blenheim branch of Union last night, when condemning the statement made by the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. It. Semple, in an interview here recently that the farming community was more than pleased with the guaranteed price, and the opposition to it was not coming from them, but from the Farmers' UnionJ which did not represent the farmers of the country, and never did. "1 think we should send resentment of that statement," added Mr. Badman. "This business about the Farmers' Union not representing the farmers is all eye-wash, and anyone saying so is talking through his hat." A Member: The Minister might come over here and stir us up if you don't look out. Mr. Badman Well, let him. He might find someone else has a gift of the gab, too. The meeting resolved to place on record strong resentment at the Minister's statement.
