He said it was very unfair that the Govern- ment should give high prices for mules and inferior horses and expect to get the choice well bred horses from the farmers at much below their value . the farmer The Mr. George Firkins said the Government came to the sales and commandeered not only before , but after the horses were sold . Government must have horses , but to com- mandeer horses worth £ 90 or £ 100 at £ 80 was unjust , whereas £ 80 was given for horses worth £ 60 or £ 70 . The General Secretary explained that a test case was being taken up at Hereford in a very glaring instance and this would come into the Court . PRICE OF WHEAT . Mr. George Firkins in accordance notice moved the following resolution : " That with in view of the Government's demand for three million additional acres of land for corn grow- ing in 1918 , this meeting is unanimously in favour of asking the Government to extend the minimum price of wheat fixed for 1917 to 1918 also .
