A mass meeting for Leominster had been arranged for April 26th , Friday , and Captain FitzHerbert Wright , M.P. , would be present . be nominated by the branches . who was also present agreed and said it would create dissatisfaction if they appointed graders for the other end of the country . He thought they might deal with Leominster that day . Mr. Rees asked why the sheep could not be sold by auction . use Mr. Edwards replied that it was no raising the question at this stage . Mr. Cave proposed Mr. J. Harris , Dishley Court , be nominated as the grader at Leomin- ster . They could not have a better man . Mr. Ridgley seconded and it was carried . Mr. Edwards ( Marston ) , Mr. Hyslop and Mr. W. Smith ( Bidney ) were appointed as deputies . Mr. Owens proposed and Mr. Jenkins sec- onded that each branch be called together to appoint their graders locally . for their attendance . Messrs . Deakin and Edwards were thanked In reply Mr. Edwards mentioned that the scheme was starting on new lines . Every market except Hereford would be a local mar- ket for feeding local people . Hereford would be a distributing centre to which other pur- chasers would have to go . TITHES ON HOP LAND . The Secretary reported that he had received a reply from Mr. Hewins , M.P. , in regard to the payment of extraordinary tithe on hop land which now ceased to bear that crop . He understood that under the Extraordinary Tithe Redemption Act 1886 , the extraordinary charge previously payable on a septennial average of prices in respect of land cultivated as hop land , etc. , was converted into a fixed and permanent charge which was payable irrespec- tive of the present use or state of the land . FORTHCOMING MASS MEETING . Mr. Owen thought that au important dist- rict had been omitted at Kington . Mr. Preece said with regard to Ross they gave up their meeting in order that Mr. Nunnely might go to Bromyard and they would only have a meeting if he would speak at two meetings that day . If a meeting could be arranged at Kington instead of Ross they would be delighted . PROGRESS AT WEOBLEY . WEOBLEY BRANCH . The returns to hand showed that 42 members upwards of 50 after only a few weeks work . had been enrolled making a membership of Mr. Langford addressed the meeting at con- siderable length on Farmers ' Union topics , and related his experiences at interviews with Mr. Prothero , the Food Controller and others with regard to the sale of stock , and other matters .
