PROTEST AGAINST DEAD - WEIGHT SYSTEM . At the meeting of the National Farmers ' Union in London on Wednesday , Mr. E. N. Nuneley ( Northampton ) was elected president . During a discussion upon the Agricultural Wages Board , Mr. Alpass ( Gloucestershire ) said farmers welcomed the organisation of the workers , and they had no desire to oppose the just claims of the labourers . The future of agriculture depended almost exclusively on the extent of the co - operation between farmer and labourer . Mr. Fisher ( Market Harborough ) moving a resolution protesting against the compulsory selling of stock on the dead - weight system which was carried , charged Lord Rhondda with a breach of faith with the farmer by his dec . laration that the pride would be on a 67 basis . This action had done more to destroy the confidence of the producer than anything that had happened . Mr. Attenborough , in seconding , said Lord Rhondda had not produced one single ounce of food by his Order ( Hear , hear ) . A resolution was passed that Lord Rhondda be urged to reconsider the prices of milk , and make them : April , full winter prices ; May and June , 1s . 2d . per gallon ; July , 1s . d . per gal- lon ; August and September , 1s . 6d . per gallon an average for the five months of 1s . 44. per gallon - and that a minimum of 5d . per gallon be allowed for distribution . It was also de- cided to draw the attention of the Food D. partment to the present wastage of vegetables owing to lack of transport facilities . PROVISION OF MEAT SUPPLIES . It has now been found possible to determine with some degree of accuracy the amount of meat which each producing district can be expected to supply in the immediate future At the same time the requirements of indi- vidual Food Control Committees in meat are being definitely assessed . On the basis of the information thus tabulated , arrangements are being made to secure that every district , and as far as possible every butcher's shop , shall be provided with meat sufficient to meet the demands of coupon bearers this week in the London and Home Counties area , and gener- ally throughout Great Britain a month hence . Certain live stock areas are self - supporting in meat , and have a surplus which can be des- patched to other areas . These , which may be called exporting areas , are Scotland ( which is one of the chief producing grounds of Great Britain ) , Cumberland and Westmoreland , Nortn Wales , the West Midlands - in spite of the fact that this includes , the great industrial district of which Birmingham is the centre- the South - Western Counties , and East Anglia . The manufacturing and mining districts , on the other hand - the Northumberland and Dur- ham Coal Fields , Lancashire , the West Riding , the East Midlands , the Home Counties , and the Hampshire areas are importing districts which cannot be supplied with their quota of meat unless assistance is received from out- side . London is to be supplied partly from Scotland , ptrtly from Norfolk , and to a siderable extent with imported meat . Imported meat is also supplied to some extent to , Lanca- shire , though Lancashire also draws on Ire- land , on Scotland , and on Cumberland . The mining districts of South Wales are fed partly from Devonshire and to a small extent from id to Ireland . con- Each live stock area is divided ap inte " Chairmen's districts , " and these again are subdivided into market areas , the internal organisation of the distribution of supplies in each live stock area being on a similar system of " give and take " to that which governs the supply of the country as a whole . Buyers from every district in Great Britain are now being definitely tied to one or more markets - either the nearest local market in an exporting area . This operation has necessarily been extremely difficult and complicated , in- volving as it does calculation of some 2,000 markets in Great Britain . The provision of the chilled meat required to make up any deficiency in the assessment on the ration in any food control area is a simpler one , because the im- port trade has been centralised and reorganised , and Smithfield Market is now represented by the London Wholesale Supply Association , which is in fact a distributing body acting on behalf of the Mnistry of Food . Different sections of the market have been reserved for the supply of the various food control areas . in the market . The butchers in each of the food control areas will be represented by the buyer appointed by their own committee . LUDLOW THE KINGTON TIMES , MARCH 2 , 1918 . COUNTY POLICE COURT .

He asked them not Sheldon , who was trying to do what he could for a man who was at the war . to convict The Bench asked the defendant if he was willing for the horse to be destroyed .
