THE SALVATION OF THE FARMER.
APPRECIATION OF THE COURT'S ' DECISION., FEILDING, Sept. 11. A guinea subscription fund was opened in the Feilding Star office this afternoon, at the request of representative farmers, as a means of showing appreciation of tho successful effort of the farmers of Canterbury in opposing the demands of the Farm Labourers' Union. Within a short time, eleven farmers from ITeilding, Cheltenham, Waituna, Bulls, Aorangi, Makino, Awahuri, and Kiwitea had contributed a guinea each. The organisers of the fund also intend the movement to be an expression of confidence in the Arbitration Court's attitude towards the agricultural and pastoral interests. The contributors feel that it is only fair that the farmers of the whole Dominion should recognise that the farmers of Canterbury, by so sturdily contesting the demands of the Farm Labourers' Union, really saved every farmer much expense.
