BETTER STOCK WANTED

MONGREL SIRES' AND THE HARM THEY DO. REPRESENTATIONS TO GOVERNMENT. A sensible proposal was made at the artnual meeting of the Gore branch of the Farmers' Union the other day. Mr G. P. Johnston, a weJI-kuown Border Leicester breeder .in that district mpvied:—'That ilhis braiach consider the time is opportune when the Govcjiiimctnt should appoint capable in.speefors and instructors to as,dst farmers af.i.d advise them in matters relative to the impA>veme)nt of ..their stock.' 1 ' Thp speaker urged that this would be for tho betterment of the whole community as-well as the farmer himself. Such action would improve methods, and there would be a better u'nder>>tanding between officials and the i'armer. They had only to look at th e stock.in their saleyards to see the need of wlmt he urged. Mr A. Rei;d seconded the motion and strongly supported it. Tho cattle in the distinct wore in much need of im- j provement. The mongrel sire ought to be prevented from injuring the district. A district should, and could, become famou b by the class of stock. The h'M'th-east o; Scotland was noted for its stock. If in such places they could secure £IOOO and £ISOO for yearlinrp calves, . there was no reason why k should not be done in this country. Mr Gilchrist said he was pleased to hea,r such opinions expressed from two siucerssful breeders. They struck tlio right note, and the remit was one of the. best that could be .sent to the conference. The proposal was adopted.
