Amongst the delegates at the Far l mers' Union Conference, the Lowgarth representative "was especiallj' noticeable for his. occasional outbursts of; humour. In discussing the secretaryship, he was fain to admit that tho late secretary could not have made a great' dea} out of the billet (at £25 per annum).' It was suggested tba.t^a man should 'be obtained who could be. secretary, .veterinary surgeon',, and or-ga.msing^iec.turer-.inV one. ,^|tr 'Herlihy added that it would be as "well pcr 7 haps to add that the seci-etary should be a man well qualified to teach the manly art of self-defence ! It. would be necessary sometimes, ,he. would find, in order to .drive some 'Qftj^.0 '„ farmers to meetings for. their own gojpd.
