OF WOOL . PRICE The Secretary referred to the question of hay , which had been thoroughly probed . He understood that in the coming year hay that was in barns would be cleared first . The price of the 1917 wool clip had been raised at several meetings . It was felt that they should ask for 75 per cent . increase on pre - war prices . Mr. Williams said that 75 per cent . would not cover the extra cost in these days . It was supposed to be 50 per cent increase last year , but he did not get it . Mr. Pugh said he received 18. 4d . per lb. in 1914 and 1s . 9d . last year , which was not 50 . per cent . increase . RED CROSS AN APPEAL . The Secretary read a communication from the British Farmers ' Red Cross Fund stating that the total of the fund was now £ 750,000 , and about 1,200 sales had been held . They asked if Leominster would make another effort at an early and convenient opportunity . THE PAST YEAR . In an informál report upon the past year's working of the branch the Secretary said that as they knew , they were very disorganised last year . They appointed a considerable number of delegates , some of them had worked remarkably well and others had done nothing whatever . He thought that this was a time for the Farmers ' Union to assert themselves and if instead of doing as he ventured to think some were inclined to do , merely bringing destruc- tive criticism , he did think that if the Far- mers Union would bring forward some con- structive policy , some suggestion of improve ment , he believed the Government would be only too pleased to make use of it . He felt strongly that the farmers should be represented on the Committees , which he had to attend once a week in Birmingham . He had written to the Area Commissioner pointing this out and resigning from the Committee in order that there should be a vacancy that might be filled by some Farmers Union representative . They would then be able to get behind the scenes and realise the serious position they were in and would be able to help the scheme . It did not matter if they did not agree with it , none of them agreed with it , but some scheme was undoubtedly necessary . With regard to the sheep , they could have them valued or they could be slaughtered first , but unfortu . nately they had to be sent away . He would have liked the advice of the Union with regard to the appointment of valuers , but he only had a telegram the night before the market . He would suggest that if the Farmers ' Union would nominate someone to represent the far- mers they would be only too glad to accept him . Personally he would like to see farmers adopting some different line to what they were adopting now and help the scheme through . In reply to Mr. Treasure Mr. Edwards said there was no difference in price for ewes , tegs or lambs . Mr. Boys , the meat controller , told them it did not matter what quality an consumption .

The National Farmers ' Union Land Tenure Committee had passed a resolution viewing with anxiety the number of disturbances of tenant farmers since the Corn Production Act be became law and urging that the power given to War Agricultural Executive Commit- tees to veto any notice to quit in respect of tenants whose land was farmed properly , a power which should be continued until security of tenure was given by law They further land should be urged that speculation in In the cases he referred to stopped .

Owing to the the case the a war nothing was done , but now they felt they must increase the rent roll and asked a man paying £ 130 to pay £ 12 more . The agent also pointed out that the tithe had gone up . The question was whether the increase was a reasonable one . Mr. Williams said he had heard of cases pay where the agent was asking tenants to the increase in the tithe . the Mr. Phillips said that tithes were not only thing which was falling on landlords . The Chairman said that they were worse off than many tenants . No action was taken . ELECTION OF OFFICERS . Mr. Williams in proposing the re - election of Mr. Colebatch as Chairman for the ensuing year , said that there was no one in the divi- keener interest in the Far- sion who took a mers ' Union or who attended more regularly . He had also been more successful than anyone in obtaining new members . Mr. Edwards seconded . Carried unanimously . The Chairman said that when he took the position they were in low water , but through the energy of the Secretary they were now in a better position and with more delegates they would double the membership for the next year . He was much obliged for the honour . The Chairman proposed Mr. Ridgley as Vice- Mr. Williams seconded and it was Chairman . carried unanimously . The following were appointed as representa- tives of the Branch on the North Herefordshire Executive Messrs . J. M. Parry , E. T. Cave , E. P. Pugh , W. J. Rees , F. Whiteman , J. K. Hyslop , H. R. Hall , B. C. Ridgley , F. J. Williams , G. T. Morgan and Joel Smith . The delegates to the annual general meeting were re - elected en bloc , with the substitution of Mr. Williams , Downwood , for Mr. Pugh , who is now a member of the Executive . THE WIGMORE BRANCH . The Secretary said that at Wigmore there was no magistrate within two miles of the Police Station . It was thought that they should have a resident magistrate and the Par- ish Council had unanimously decided to recom- mend the name of Mr. Joel Smith to the Lord Lieutenant , and had asked that it should go through the Farmers ' Union . Mr. Williams said he quite agreed with the desire of Wigmore in the matter and proposed that the Secretary be instructed to forward the resolution to the Lord Lieutenant as desired . Mr. Pugh seconded and it was carried : PARISH DELEGATES . The list of parish collectors was revised as follows : Aymestry , Mr. F. J.

THE SHEEP ORDER . The Secretary said he had asked Mr. Edwards to come to that meeting to give his opinion on the position under the new Order . Feeling ran higher over the Sheep Order than anything he had ever experienced . A meeting was being held at Newport , Mon. , to be ad- dressed by Lord Rhondda and Ross had deputation headed by Mr. decided to send a Thomas Preece .

He pointed out that butchers were buying stores at higher prices than farmers were receiving for fat sheep . Mr. Edwards said they would only lose They could not buy store Joel Smith said the question was He them . money on sheep for slaughter . Mr. whether the Union was going to oppose the WORCESTER FARMERS AND scheme or to suggest some improvement . thought they should press for a live weight price and also for an advance in the price of the skin from week to week . The Secretary said that at Hereford it was suggested that sheep should be killed at the local slaughter house , so that farmers could see the carcases weighed , but would not agree to that . Ross they Mr. Pugh said he heard that a butcher had to pay 1s . 7d . per lb. for sheep at the last auction . Mr. Edwards said he had better leave it alone at that price . live weight . SHEEP GRADING . At a meeting of the Worcestershire branch of the National Farmers ' Union , on Tuesday , the sheep grading question was discussed , and a resolution passed declaring it impossible to place yearling sheep on the market in a con- dition suitable for killing under 1s . 4d . per lb. plus the actual price realised for the skin without serious loss to the feeder , and that if FREEMASONS AND FOOD ECONOMY . A communication has been sent by the Grand Secretary , Mr. P. Colville Smith , to the Master of every lodge of Freemasons un- ren to observe the utmost practicable abstin- ence in regard to food economy . The Grand Master , the Duke of Connaught , expresses the earnest hope that the craft in an especial degree will respond to the King's ap- peal for economy and frugality , and thus set a good example to the nation in this hour of her need .. WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY . HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES . The prosecutions for selling foods over the fixed maximum prices continue . From which it appears that not only are many trades- people meanly dishonest , but many shoppers pay . The price has been fixed by law number of the staple foods , and every house- wife should make it her first business to find out what those prices are .

The Secretary said the reason for different opinions was that conditions were different in each district . one Mr. T H. Edwards said there was thing they could do and that was to ask the authorities to allow the Union to be repre- sented on their Committees and more particu- larly on the Birmingham Area . They would then be able to put forward their views . The Secretary said they were asked to sub- mit three names from that Union and they did so , but no appointment had been made . Mr. Joel Smith moved a resolution pointing out that the Committee in question did not contain a representative of the Union . PRICE OF BEEF .. The Secretary said they were asking Lord Rhondda the price of beef for June and the following months . Mr. T. H. Edwards said that in these days resolutions did not carry the weight that a personal representative's views would carry . Mr. Treasure put forward a resolution passed by the Ledbury Branch asking Lord Rhondda to state definitely the prices farmers would be paid for beef at the expiration of the pres- ent order , to be made public not later than March 1st through the National Farmers ' Union . It was agreed to support this demand . Mr. W. D. Edwards referring again to the question of sheep asked if it was right that butchers should pay 3d . per lb. more for store sheep than for animals which had been valued . Mr. T. H. Edwards : What will they do with them ? They could not slaughter them . The Secretary suggested that the butchers in question might have land . Referring to Mr. T. H. Edwards the Secre tary said they would agree that it would be the worst thing for Leominster farmers if Mr. Edwards resigned . He had been most sym- pathetic . Mr. Edwards said it was most desirable that the Union should have a representative . The Chairman agreed , but said it was the wish of the meeting that Mr. Edwards should not resign . Further consideration of the subject was ad- journed until there was a larger meeting . BRILLEY . Food Production and FOOD PRODUCTION AND ECONOMY . A public meeting on Food Economy was held in the Schoolroom , Brilley , last week , when Mr. E. W. Langford , C.C. ( Hereford ) was the speaker . Mr. W. Jenkins presided . A very large and appreci- ative audience attended . The Chairman in his opening remarks ex- everyone present to do their utmost to produce food for our gallant soldiers and sailors who should be managed .
