Reference to the exciting annual meetings which were held a few years ago by the Farmers’ Dairy Federation, Ltd., was made by the chairman of directors (Mr John Fisher) at the annual meeting of the company yesterday when commenting on the small attendance. He said that some years ago the meetings had been very lively and on occasions had approached a “donnybrook.” There had been two schools of thought among the. shareholders about the course the directors were pursuing in establishing the company. It was rather regrettable, he said, that the present success of the company did not draw from the shareholders a more lively interest. For several years the annual meetings had been very quiet and almost in nature of “afternoon tea affairs.”
