Farmers & Ministry of Food. CARMARTHENSHIRE PROTEST A well attended meeting oj the Carmar- thenshire Branch of the National Farmers Union was held at Carmarthen on Saturday, Mr C. J. Footman, Aalton, presi'iiag It was reported that the Ministry of Food had approved of two only out of tee f^rr farmers nominated as graders representing the Agricultural interests at Cairmarthen- ihire Marts. Mr. David Stephens, J.P., Llanarthncy, said he understood that some of the gentle- men nominated had been chosen at meetings attended by men who were not members of the Farmers%Union. And further, som. of the of the nominees were :>I)t roen">er6 of the Union. Mr. J. Soourfield, Blaenwernddu, said that at Whitland a meeting was called of all the farmers who attended the Marts. The Secretary (Mr. Daniel Johns, B.Sc.) said that his instructions to the secretaries of the sub-branches were very definite, tut unfortunately some of them did not do their duty. Only members of the Union were suposed to vote and if that had been cc ne there would have been no trouble. He had stated if there was more thin ci-ie nominee the appointment would be made at the Central Committee. Mr. L. L. Bowen, Blaengwelltog, Tre- lech, proposed that the Union strongly condem the action of the Ministry of Food in ignoring the nominees of the Union. The latter had been asked by the Food MinisLvy to nominate their men and the nomina- tions were not accepted. The Union-had done their Juty and the Ministry ot have done "verse for them. Mr. W. J. Daeies, Bragty, seconded ;it e motion. The proposer and seconder accept eu an addendum by Mr. Jones, B-jdw, T *,a n- pumpsaint. "That the L'nion insist on the 'appoint- ment of two cut of the four nominated fcy the Central Committee, and the resolution was carried unanimously. APPOINTMENT OF FARMER GRADERS. Farmers' Graders were appointed, by ballot, for the various Marts in the Oi nty a" follows :—Carmarthen.—Mr. J. Wil'.iams, Hengiluchaf, Abergwili; St. Clears :Mr. E. Edwa d. Peritrevvyn; Newcastle-Ernlyn: Mr. T. Davies, Gellygarth; Llanvb^he-: Mr. J. E. Lloyd, Dolgwm; Ammaniord: Mr. John Thomas, Ynisdawelog, Fantv- tffynon; Llandyssul: No. 1 Mart, Mr. Wm. Jones, Pantdefaid; No. 2 Mart, Mr E. Harries, Rhiwlwyd, Ptiryader; 1 landilo Town: Mr. Evan Davies, Pistillgwyn; Llin- dilo Bridge: Mr. J. Hobbs, Home Farm Golden Grove; Pontyberem: Mr I' rell Thomas, Glanyrynis, Llangendeirne; Llan- gadock: Mr. T. Dav:es, Cwmsawdde; Llan- dovery: Mr. Wm. Davies, Dygoedydd; Pontardulais; Mr. Isaac Stone, Talclyn, Llan. gennech; Clynderwen :Mr. J. Harries, Long- ridge; Whitland: Mr. J. Scourfield, Blaen- wernddu; Kidwelly: Mr. J. Griffiths, Tresil. wood. A letter was read from the Cilycwm sub- branch stating that at a meeting on the 26th ult. it was unanimously decided that farmers should be treated alike at Marts and that the tame portion of cattle and sheep should be taken away if fit for grading from the small farmers as dealers and grasiera who were filling the markets at present. Mr. Alfred Thomas, Glanyrynis, said that the duty of the graders was to pick the rippest cettle in the Mart, it d:d not matter who thy belonged to. Mr E. Pugh, Llanerch, said that the ap- pointment of a grading committee for each Mart should be made in order to see that there was fair play for all (hear, hear). His branch had communicated with the Live Stock Commissioner on this matter but the reply was that the graders were not to be interfered with. If there was any inter- ference an example would be made of such person or persons. Another member stated that what was wanted at the Marts was not preferential treatment but fair play all round (hear, hear). L WEIGHING OF SHEEP. The Secretary read the following letter from the Ministry of Food with regard to the new gTading regulations:—"The de- cision to prohibit the weighing of sheep before valuing was reached after careful consideration. The weight of expert opinion is undoubtedly to the effect that the live weight of a sheep, varying as it does w:th the condition of the fleece, the state of/the weather, etc., is of no value as a guide to the estimation of the weight of the dressed oarcase. Further, the most serious complaints in regard to the bad, valuation of sheep have come from markets where the weighing of sheep has been per- mitted" Mr. Jones, Bedw-We have had a differ- ence of 3 lbs. on the part of two experts in guessing 'the weight of sheep. I think it is time that we should insist that the sheep should be weighed (hear, hear). Mr. 1,1. Griffiths, Tanylan, proposed that the Secretary write to each sub-branch in the county telling farmers not to send a single beast to the mart until this griev- ance was remedied. Mr. S. H. Anthony. Penlan, seconded and added that they should write to other counties as well for support The Secretary said there had been a conference of the South Wales county branch- es of the N.F.U. at Carmarthen the previous Saturday, and it was then agreed that the sheep should be weighed, otherwise the stock should be withheld. Mr. Pugli-That is a drastic.. adtion. I suggest we have a conference aga.,n of the South Wales county [branches to consider the matter. Mr. Ll. Griffiths-It is only drastic action which brings results. Mr. J. Scourfield-Fi-om what I Yepd the whole of the farmers of Wales are united on this point—that the sheep should be weighed, The Chairmen said they were always taking drastic astion at opportune times. If they did not send their cattle to -the taiarts at present the Government oould import Irish cattle. They should strike when there was a shortage of cattle. Mr. W. Richards, Regwm, said they had been on the hands of the Meat Trusts of America since the beginning of the war. Was there any reason in some tmtchers having their ration of frozen meat at ttte beginning of the wrek and also having home meat at the end of the week? After further discussion it was decided to convene a conference of representatives of the county branches in South Wales ana Monmouthshire at Carmarthen to consider the matter. The following were appointed representatives of the Carmarthenshire branch :-fr. E. Pugh, Mr. Ll. Griffiths, Mr. J. J. Rees, Love Lodge, Llandilo; Mr. J. Scourfield, Mr. D. J. Davies, Hafod; Mr. Long Price, Llandovery; Mr. Jones, Bedw; and Mr. T. Davies, O.B.E., Cilwaunyûù Fawr. THE BUTTER QUESTION. On the question of the price of butter the Secretary said he had received a number of resolutions from the sub-branches urg- ing that the Ministry of Food be appealed to for an increase in the maximum price. Mr. Johns said he had written to I-Ee Ministry of Food, and in a somewhat lengthy reply they stated that in view of the general state of the milk supply of the .country it had botiome* necessary to llLSf- the price of milk in order to encourage farmers to produce this commodity. The disparagement in price between milk and butter was therefore unavoidable. Mr. Jones, Bedw, said farmers would be compelled to give up making butter at ihe present price. Those who produced butter were doing so at a loss. Mr. W. Richards Ha id he knew of some people who were getting mere than 5s. a ib. for butter in Carmarthen! (Another mem- ber: "That is a fact.") If a member of this Union got summoned for selling butter above the maximum price, Mr. Ricjmrcte j Asaid he would be in favour of fighting the 9 man's case. "If I can get 4s. or 5s. a lb. for butter, he added, I would 'take it. I don't care anything for the Government" ^laughter1).. Mr- Johns, Parceithyn, said the reply by

Farmers & Ministry of Food.
——————————————————————————— the Ministry of Food displayed a good deal of ignorance. Mr. J. Jones, Llwyndewi, Llandilo, r«- marked that if the public refused 'to pur- chase margarine the Government would be forced to put up the price of butter. Mr. W. Richards—The public could not do that as margarine is u. substitute for butter, and if they did not take it they would starve. A proposal was made that supplies of butter should be withheld from the markets for two months, but after further discussion it was decided to ask the joint conference v.hich meets on Saturday to deal with the question.
