"SOON HAVE NO MEMBERS"
FARMERS' UNION DIFFICULTY POSITION IN POVERTY BAY The problem of collecting subscriptions from members was discussed in correspondence road at Saturday's meeting of the Poverty Bay provincial executive of the New Zealand Fanners' Union. Tho Dominion secretary inquired what steps were being taken to secure subscriptions from Poverty Bay's 571 unlinancial members.
" Tho order system was a complete failure in your dfstrict," added the letter, " and if something urgeut and effective is not done soon, you will soon have no members,"
In reply to this, the Poverty Bay secretary, Mr. W. M. Bayly, wrote: "Scleral methods have bceu tried with little success. Mr. F, S. Boweii, our new president, is endeavoring to model a new system and await his developed suggestions. Admitted, tho orders have been a failure here. This is largely duo to financial difficulties with the small farmers. Also the dairy companies aro not in sympathy with tho order system. Further, many who sign- 1 ed cannot bo found."
