'ihc President (Mr Allen Hell) said the majority of the farmers were in favour Kit dairy regulations of some kind, but lie thought, the union fhouid call together conferences of farmers io discuss the new regulations.

The president said that- there were demands in these regulations which were unreasonable, and .it seemed to him that tliev had been drawn up by someone lacking practical experience. So far, however, in the Waikuto tho dairy inspectors had made no unreasonable demands on the farmers. It was decided to hold meetings of dairy farmers at the various centres lo consider the tjiieetion of the new •'filiations.
