Mr. Langford said that Herefordshire would be the area of one committee which would have 18 members . VARIOUS SUBJECTS . The Secretary read a circular letter from the Secretary of the National Farmers ' Union drawing attention to resolutions passed by the Executive on the following subjects : Security of Tenure , Parliamentary programme , Fixed Prices for 1918 crop of potatoes , Price of Barley , Price of Pigs , and more particularly to their resolution on Proportional Representa- tion . It was hoped that each branch would send the local M.P.'s a resolution in favour of the principle . DAY OF MEETINGS .. The next item was a motion in the name of the President to hold the meetings on Stock Market days : the The Secretary said it was principally for the sake of Mr. Godsall , who had no occasion to come to Leominster on Fridays . Mr. Colebatch said there would soon be no sale to come to . Mr. Ridgley said there was very little the last auction and would be less at the next . No action was , taken . The Chairman called upon Mr. T. Percy Preece for a few words . Mr. Preece said the only thing he could say with regard to this branch was that he was surprised they had not more members , as he thought they had got between 500 and 600 members . The only advice he could give them was to start to collect subscriptions at once and get every subscription collected in the next two months . If it was allowed to go on to the end of the year they were never collected . If the delegates were not satisfac- tory they should appoint fresh delegates or additional delegates , but in any case see that the subscriptions were collected within a short time . It was so much easier collecting money at the start of the year than afterwards . The Secretary remarked that Mr. Preece had been the local secretary of the Ross branch and was one of the most successful secretaries he had had to do with . The Chairman said that Mr. Preece's heart was in the work and he was glad they had such an enterprising young man who was willing to assist them . February 1st .

THE NEEDS OF AGRICULTURE . Mr. Langford being called upon , said he could only endorse waat Mr. Precce had said . He thought North Herefordshire ought to have a very much larger membership . As he knocked about the country he met many tar- mers who were taking a keen interest in the doings of the Farmers ' Union and would be- come useful members of the Union . He did not think the interest of the tarmers was represented by the number on the books . It theretore behoved them as oficials and dele- gates to see that those people who were tak- ing an interest became members . With regard to agriculture generally he thought to - day that the eyes of the whole populace were upon betore . He deprecated the feeling of town versus country - urban people regarding tar- MANY GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS mers as pronteers .
