Mr. Firkins referred to the new regulations under which no farm horse could be sold with- out , a permit . The object of the Government was to get as near 3 million acres of land ploughed up as they could . They were told that they would want many more labourers and so many more horses . They immediately fook steps to get labour by supplying soldiers and women labour . They then thought about the number of horses that would be required and this Order was the result . man If a wanted to sell a horse he would have to sup- ply all particulars . If another man wanted a horse they would send it to him and thus keep the horses on the land . a The Secretary said the following resolution been passed by the National Farmers ' Union : - had and Sec . - Lieut .

He wrote to the Secretary of the National Farmers ' Union and told him that something ought to be done . in the North the Committee considered there was an excellent opportunity for a farmers candidate . He informed him that Mr. Parry and Alderman Russell had been suggested , but that neither would allow their names to go for- ivard , He also pointed out that under the Boundary Commission's scheme there would he added to the North a considerable rural area , while there would be no increase in the urban . area . They therefore were of opinion that there was no more favourable opportunity for a farmers ' candidate . The Secretary went on to say that he had received a reply , but no advice . The Secretary of the National Far- mers ' Union said there should be a hopeful chance in North Herefordshire provided they could get the right man to stand . With re- gard to the report he ( Mr. Griffiths ) had to make all he would say was this .
