N.Z. FARMERS’ UNION.
DOMINION EXECUTIVE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The Dominion Executive of the Farmers’ Union met to-day, the president, Mr Poison, presiding. Five members of Parliament, Messrs McLeod, Sykes, Masters, Itansomc and MacPherson, attended, and after a short discussion in committee, agreed to meet the wishes of the Executive to watch legislation affecting farmers’ interests as a non-party committee. The Minister of Agriculture wrote that he could not hold out any hope that the charges for inspection of bonedust would be borne by the consolidated fund. The Meat Industry Board advised that arrangements for sending a single carcase ol' lamb to any address in Britain were still in operation. The scheme had met with remarkable success. The Board was now receiving from the London office regular reports by the inspector recently appointed to watch the unloading of vessels at Home. Attention was drawn by the Board to the selling 'of inferior lamb as New Zealand, and that prosecutions had been ordered.
