This is the feeling of nine out of every ten persons in the district at present, but we want someone to take. the initiative. Surely this is a question for the A. and P. Association to take up, as farmers are the people most- directly affected-. I enclose £1 for your fundi and hope that • everyone interested will subscribe at once so as'to make-the movement- a success. I am, etc., .:.:'.-. ':.'.. . . URGENT. TOut correspondent has enclosed £l, and we.shall be glad to received further contribution's to the fund.
