FARMERS MEETING AT CARDIGAN, Important Co-operative j Project. | The gathering of farmers cfl Saturday last at J the Aug el Hotel, Cardigan, on the occasion of a | dinner provided in connection with the third monthly stock sale inaugurated by Messrs T. Havaid and Co., was in every sense a happy one. The day was gioriousb fine for field work on the farm, and this. doubtless, militated against the attendance, but notwithstanding there was a goodly company of substantial farmers and others interested in agricultural pursuits, who were well able to deal with the topic arranged for discussion, viz :—The c-ublishment in Cardigan of a co- operative bacon factory. Capt. Jonas-Parry, of Tyllwyd, witty, wise, and always geoial, presided, and he was supported by the -Itayor of Cardigan, Mr C. Morgan-Richardson, and Clond W. Picton Evans. Amongst the company were MOST? D. 8. Jones, Castle Malgwyn; Hughes, Rhosysader Evans, Llwyndyrus Evans, Trt-cefn; Davies, Trewillim; Griffiths, Hafod Grove; Thomas, Pias; Evans, Glastyr; Lewis, Treprior; Thomas Havard. Penally: D. Ivor Evans, Netpool Farm; J. W. Nicholas, Metropolitan Dank; W. Woodward, auctioneer; Vvr. R. Morgan, auctioneer, See. The Chairman commenced the proceedings with humour. He said he had read Porker's grammar, and also Racon' essay, but those books had not given him invaluable assistance in the matter of establishing a bacon factory (laughter). With this he called upon Mr Morgan Richardson to introduce the subject. !\ir..uore-an mcnaruscn was wen received. He ¡ paid I must congratulate you, sir, upon this our first meeting as a farmers' club in this room. I know it has been a great wish on your part to i collect the farmers together in order to talk over matters which are to them of common interest. I am pleased to see such a good, and representative gathering here to-day, and I think that it is only the. very fine weather which has prevented the attendance of many more, but as a commencement we may be proud of our meeting on this occasion: I must congratulate Mr. Havard upon his enter- prize,ior a great deal is due to his energy and determination in arranging this gatheringand I congratulate him upon the success of his monthly sales, which I believe are going to be of great benefit not only to this town, but to the farmers of the neighbourhood. It is a great thing to know where to send things for sale, and to know where to buy them, and 1 am glad to see the support given to him by the farmers (hear hear). The subject which we have to consider to-day is that of establishing a Jjacon Factory. I do not know why I should have been selected to introduce this subject for there are probably a great many people in this room who know more about it than I do. The solution might b^iound in the situation of my office (laughter). JBs f* as I can see that is the j only reason whyi was selected. The street is called Chancery Lane, but it is better known to the world as Pig Lane (laughter). Because my office is situated in Pig Lane, and because the street is full of fai, pig carts on market day. I am considered qualified to lecture to you upon the establishment of a Bacon Factory, (laughter). Although I am not qualified to address you upon this s'.i')j'«ctt I am bound to say, that I take the deepest interest in it, an interest which dates from the time when sorri# years ago I had to get' rid of a large bacon pig. Now I did not cure my own r bacon, and I found great difficulty in getting of this pig at that | time, i ti-ink there was some reason for this, as swine t'ev--?r had broken out, and the'district was J scheduler. ''hat it was impossible to get the pier away at that time. I can hardly tell you what difficulty I had to find a buyer, although the pig was well ted, and in good condition—in fact there was nothing against the pig, mentally, morally, or physically (laughter). I had positively to' go round each dealer, and touch my hat to him, to try and induce him to buy. Eventually I sold the pig for, I think, 5s. a score. 1 worked that out, and I found that I was getting something like 4 jd. per pound. I looked in my grocers' book and I found that I was paying lid. per pound. It seemed i to me then that there was something radicilly wrong. It was this fact which permeated through my mind, and my seeing that every year we are baying a tremendous quantity of bacon from abroad, bacon which we ought to make and cure at home (hear, hear). I think we are paying in England 10 millions a year for foreign bacon, and no doubt a great deal of that bacon could be made and cured at home. It is true that not only are there lactones in Eng2a<nd making and curing bacon At the present time, bet there are a great many in Denmark, kept up by farmers themselves. In 1887 there were 41 such factories, and at the present time there are 50, kept up entirely by 'farmers for supplying one market only, and that the English market. It is a fact which should come home to us that these factories are being started, and are succeeding, in every part of the South of Ireland. The conditions in Ireland are very much like our own, and I cannot help think- ing that if they can do so- well in Ireland, they ought to succeed in Wales. I know that they have succeeded in Cornwall, where a very good factory coing a large amount of business has been established, and it is not only a financial success, but it is doing an immense deal of good in that immediate neighbourhood. The idea cam to me that what would do in Ireland and Cornwall, would do here, and I think Cardigan well suited, for a variety of reasons, for the establishment of a bacon factory (hear, hear). I think a great point is this: We should get by boat once a week with Bristol, cheap water carriage not only for the bacon which we might cure. but for the offal, which is one of the difficulties to deal with in bacon factories. By means of this boat, which travels week after week to Bristol, we should be in the position of a suburb to that city, for the purposes of the bacon factory. We could take our bacon and step in for an almost nominal price. I think the farmers themselves have considered this sub- ject. I know one farmer, and an intelligent farmer, who is in this room, who when I talked to him some time ago upon this subject said, Well, there seems to be sense in this, and although I have no money to lose, I would nor mind putting P-100 into the concern myself." This shews that the idea has been slowly working itself into the minds of the farmers themselves. There are three points of view from which to discuss the question. First, whether it would be of benefit to the town of Cardigan itself; secondly, whether it would be of benefit to the farmers; and thirdly, whether such a company would be likely to be a financial success. I need say very little about the benefit it would be to the town of Cardigan. That, of course, goes without saying. Starting an important business here would be a very desirable thing to everybody living in the place. It would bring money here, and it would find employment for people existing here; and the circulation of money would benefit the tradesmen and everybody else. I only mention this as it should be used as an inducement to Cardigan people, if we think of starting a factory. To meet us generously on the question of site, and also to assist us in finding the necessary capital. I deal more with the point of the assistance given s to the farmers themselves. This is really the most important poillt of all. I think it would be a good thing for them to find a place at all times of the year where it would be possible for them to sell their pigs at a remunerative price. And this par- ticularly in the case of pigs, jbecause we are so liable in case of swine fever to have the district suddenly scheduled, when the prices of pigs would instantly drop. I do not know anything more fluctuating than the pig. One week you may sell your sucking pig Jfor 21s or 25s and the next you have to touch your cap to the dealer, and beg him to give you 7s 6d. I cannot help thinking that it would be a benefit to the farmers who would always find a certain market at the Factory for their pigs, and n. doubt they would obtain their Id or lid per pound more than they could get at the market, and that on each pig would be an im- j portant consideration. The third point is whether j such a factory would be likely to prove a financial j success. One fact speaks for itself: No- fictory that has ever been started has been a failure. It is almost as different to find a Bacon Factory in liquidations it is to finda butcher in the bankruptcy court (laughter). And practically for the same reason they handle a large proportion of profit at the expense of the farmer. But another proof is the difficulty there is in getting information. It is j certainly proof to me that there is something very good in it, or else they would not be so chary in letting us know how the thing is done. Some two years ago I wrote for permission to go over, the factory at Chippenham. I thought that as m matter of course leave would be granted, but I ( received a letter from the Secretary informing me that a meeting of the Directors had been called. and they gave me warning not to go near their 1 place. They were so anxious to keep the secret of their curing process to themselves. The great point which we have to consider is: What are the re- quirements of a factory. In an article written by a competent authority, a Mr Doiiglas,-who has had more to do with starting factories than any other man in England, tht-y at" started to be (l)a suffici- ent supply of bacon pigs (2) facilities for trans- port (3) a good water supply, and (4) easy access to populous districts, so as to get rid of the offal as produced. First, this merely a question of statistics. We should have to enquire whether a sufficient number of pigs could j be provided to keep the factory going. Secondly, The necessary facilities for transport could be easily arranged. On the one hand we are con- nected with the Great Western Railway, and on the other hand we are connected with Bristol by boat. In this respect there is a little to be desired. Thirdly: The water supply would give us no difficulty. And fourthly We have easy access to populous districts, because we might send the offal and the bacon to the mining towns in Glamorgan- shire. where I understand they are in a position to take everything we could possibly supply. I would not for one moment advise that we should rush into this scheme It should be considered and very carefully weighed. My idea is that we should appoint a competent Committee to thoroughly sound the question, and if necessary to invite an expert like Mr. Douglas, who has had so much experience in starting bacon factories elsewhere, to give us his opinion as to the supply of pigs which we could provide, as to the suitability of a site, and as to the transport arrangements, and if after due consideration there seems to be a prospect of success, we might call another meeting of the farmers together and launch the scheme. This would probably be the best thing to do to-day. There are some faces one particularly misses, and there are two I should like to mention. These are Major Webley-Parry-Pryse, and Mr. Brigstocke, of Blaenpant, Of course we all know and regret the reason Major Pryse is obliged to leave ns, and I am sure you will all join with me—and I say so reverently-in saying we hope God may spare him, and bring him back to us safe again, (hear hear). I am sorry Mr- Brigstocke is not here for I know he takes so much interest in everything connected with agriculture. I wrote to him two days ago, and told him what I was going to suggest here to-day. Yesterday I received this telegram from him:—" Will support scheme heartily and finan- cially. Regret ab,-ieiice." And this morning I bad a letter from him from Bournemouth, where he is staying, in which he says: li I shall be pleased to support bacon factory, and if neces- sary take shares. Anything I can do to help the Tivyside farmers is a pleasure and a duty, but it must be reciprocal. I have no faith in free, gratis institutions." In conclusion, Mr. Morgan-Kichard- son said "I am quite sure that if we fail to start this factory, we shall fail merely because the Com- mittee have decided that it is not likely to succeed in Cardigan, and not because the landowners and the farmers are supinely indifferent to the agri- cultural interests. Considerable discussion ensued (there being twelve speakers). The proposal generally was favourably criticised, the main points of the dis- cussion turning (a) on the capacity of the district to maintain an adequate supply of pigs (b) on developing the market for Welsh bacon in the South Wales mining centres (e) on th^paralysing effect of the want of confidence shewn towards each other by farmers—as experienced by existing agencies, and particularly in a private attempt to establish a creamery and (d) the question whether the dead weight prices of the factory would be as good as the live weight prices obtained in the market. At the close of the discussion Mr. Morgan- Richardson proposed the appointment of the follow- ing gentleman a" a Committee to enquire into the subject:—Col. Picton Evans, Mr Thomas Havard, Mr D. S. Jones. Mr Evans, Llwynduris, Mr Hughes, Rhosygader, and Mr D. Ivor Evans. This was seconded, and with the addition of Mr. Morgan- Richardson's name, the Committee was duly con- stituted.

Subject to any such restrictions or conditions as to expenditure as are contemplated by section 6 of the Act of 1833, the committee shall not be required to submit its or proceeding* to any council for approval. Eleven member* shall be a quorum at any meeting of the committee. None of the said counties or county boroughs shall be chargeable in any financial year with a sum greater than the amount which can in that year be raised by a rate of one-sixteenth of a penny in' the pound on the rateable value of the property within such county or county borough.

Dolgclley pars WESTERN SEA FISHERIES COMMITTEE The quarterly meeting of the Committee was held at l'ortmadoc on Tuesday week, Mr. Bonsall (Aberystwyth) presiding. The Board of Trade wrote confirming by-laws prohibiting trawling on the mussel-beds in Conway Bay.—In reply to the Chairman, the Clerk (Mr. Casson) said that nothing further had been received in regard to the proposed amalgamation with Lancashire. At the suggestion of the Chairman, a committee, consisting of representatives from the counties of Merioneth, Carnarvon, Cardigan, and Anglesey was appointed to confer in case something might be heard in the meantime in regard to the order of amalgamation. With reference to a communication from the Board of trade declining to make a grant towards the proposed harbour of "refuge at Pwllheli, Mr. J. Jones Morris said it was quite apparent that whoever had been down making enquiries knew but little about the coast. The Carnarvon County Council had taken the matter up, and doubtless something would come out of it. He proposed that a committee be appointed to give information.—The motion was seconded by Mr. Ephraim Wood, and passed.—The Chairman said the quarterly reports of the fishery officers were very satisfactory, there being a very good harvest in cockles and mussels.
-------------------FOOTBALL.…
FOOTBALL. WELSH CUP SEMI-FINAL. ABERYSTWYTH v. CARNARVON. The semi-final round of the Welsh Cup between Aberystwyth and Carnarvon was played on Satur- day last at Oswestry. Ideal weather prevailed for the encounter, and nearly 300 persons from Aber- ystwyth took advantage of the cheap excursion arranged for those desirous of seeing the match. Aberystwyth, who appeared in the semi-final in virtne of having beaten Rhayader and Newtown, were considered the favourites, and a win of two or three goals was generally predicted them. Both teams were represented at their best. It was ex- pected that Green, who now plays for Swindon, would have appeared for his old team, but during the week he telegraphed his inability to play. The teams lined up as follows:— Aberystwyth—Goal, Roose backs, C. Parry and G. Evans; half-backs, W. Jones, J. H. Edwards (capt.), and D. M. Evans; forwards, T. Whelan. J. Evans, Marshall, Barson, and Oswald James. Carnarvon — Goal, J. H. Evans; backs, J. T. Williams and D. O. Edwards; half-backs, G. Griffiths, D. S. Jones, and H. G. Evans forwards, 1 W. Morris, J. R. Williams, Ellis Williams, J. W. Kinsley, and T. Roberts. Referee, Mr R. T. Gough, Oswestry. Linesmen, Mr Hannahby, Johnston and Mr Arthur Thomas, Ruabon. The ropes were thickly lined with spectators when Carnarvon kicked off a few minutes after the advertised time. Aberystwyth had the best of the opening exchanges, but Evans, in kicking the Z, ball to Whelan on the wing, sent it into touch. On the throw-out, Marshall got possession, and put in a tremendous kick, which went wide of the goal, however, by several yards. A free-kick was then awarded Carnarvon for a foul, but the ball did not go beyond the half-way line. Carnarvon, in turn, were penalised twice for fouls, and a clinking shot was put in by J. H. Edwards, which the Carnarvon custodian was lucky to clear. Following this, the Aberystwyth forwards made a terrific bombard- ment on their opponents' goal, but one of the backs cleared with a good kick. Parry's return kick was charged down, and the Carnarvon front rank swooped down the field. The situation seemed an extremely dangerous one, as the two backs were beaten. D. 31. Evans, however, came to the rescue, and in the nick of time saved by kicking into I touch. Aberystwyth re-asserted themselves, and the ball was quickly at the other end of the field, where some pretty play ensued between the halves and forwards. J. H. Edwards got possession at length, and with rare judgment sent the ball to farshall, who gave a neat pass to Tommy Whelan on the wing. The latter put in an unerring shot, and Marshall being ready to receive it, made no mistake, and landed a beautiful goal. Ensuing play was conspicuous for some tricky runs on the part of D. Jones on the left wing, and the Carnar- von goal was continually being placed in danger. Carnarvon then made a brief incursion into Aber- ystwyth territory, but their attack was not well- directed, and the ball went over the line. Another attempt to break through the defence was well re- pulsed by Parry. Aberystwyth however, having by far the best of the play, Oswald put in a fine centre, which his colleagues tried hard to send into the net. Whelan on the opposite wing also centred beautifully, and the ball was again almost in the net. Aberystwyth, however, received a rude awakening at this point. The Carnarvon forwards, manipulating the ball smartly, dribbled to the other end of the field, where a really warm shot was sent in. Roose fisted out strongly, but it was again returned in close proximity to the goal. The two backs showed weakness in their endeavours to clear, and a sigh of relief came when the ball, after a warm five minutes, was kicked over the half-way I line. Following this, both teams attacked vigor- ously in turn, the ball travelling rapidly from one end of the field to the other. Aberystwyth secured two corners in succession, but W. Jones sent the second behind. On the kick out, Kinsley dis- tinguished himself by a smart run along the touch line, and made strenuous efforts to score. He was strongly tackled by Parry, however, who forced him to kick to touch. Barson and James were the means of putting their side on the aggressive again, after a brilliant dribble quite three parts the length of the field. This resulted in a number of corners being secured, but Carnarvon succeeded in clearing their lines on each occasion. Again the ball was seen in the vicinity of" the Aberystwyth goal, where a well-directed attack was sustained for some minutes. Parry having eventually to kick into touch close to the corner fiag. Then followed one of the finest bits of individual play seen hitherto. Marshall, getting the ball on the throw- out, made a grand burst from amongst a bunch of forwards. He then beat the two backs and dribbling the ball the whole length of the field went right up to the goal mouth, where he put in a good shot. His grand effort, although it deserved a better fate, was unsuccessful, the ball being kicked out far by the custodian. Carnarvon took another turn at attacking, but before the w-histle sounded for the interval Marshall again broke away, and came within an ace of scoring, one of the Carnarvon backs sending the ball, behind for a corner. HALF-TIME SCOKE. Goal. Aberystwyth 1 Carnarvon. Q Aberystwyth re-started, and the ball was immediately sent behind the line by O. James. On the kick-out, the Carnarvon forwards in a bunch broke away. It seemed any odds on their scoring, but Roose ran out, and kicked far down the field. Aberystwyth returned to the aggressive, and some stinging shots were put in by James and Evans. The ball then travelled rapidly to the other end of the field, only to be returned equally as quick, l'he forwards, with Whelan leading, were dribbling smartly, but they were too hard pressed, and the ball was sent over the line. Oswald soon made another attempt to find the net with a shot froru the wing, missing it by a very few inches. Then Carnarvon were awarded a free-kick juat over the centre line, but the ball was sent behind. The Aberystwyth front rank then showed some of their true form. On two or three occasions they rushed the ball right to the goal mouth, and gave the custodian a really warm time. At length the Town were awarded a free-kick, which Parry placed with his usual judgment. A group of the forwards in the goal mouth received it, and after a tight scramble, Barson sent it into the net amid loud cheers. Stung by this reverse, Carnarvon played vigorously, and exerted them- selves to their utmost in their attempts to score. Their attacks were unmethodical, however, and the town backs had little difficulty in dealing with them. It could not be denied, however, that at this period the Northerners were having the best of matters, Aberystwyth having relaxed their efforts considerably. They again asserted themselves in a short time, their play being characterised by some very accurate shooting. A free kick was allowed Carnarvon for a foul throw-in by W. Jones, and from this the forwards commenced a fierce on- slaught on the Aberystwyth goal. The half-backs and backs were particularly slow in attempting to clear, and eventually T. Roberts put in a swift shot, which completely beat Roose. The goal was well- deserved, and it had the result of infusing renewed z, vigour into the play, both sides playing for all they were worth. Carnarvon had a good opportunity of equalising the score at this point, the centre for- ward having the ball to himself right in front of 9 1 goal, He hesitated to kick, and was robbed of it by Parry. Carnarvon stuck to their work, and play was mainly in their favour. Aberystwyth were at length forced to concede a corner, in clearing which a foul was committed by G. Evans, who touched the ball with his hands. This resulted in Carnarvon being awarded a penalty kick, and from this D. O. Edwards scored the second and equalising goal. There were now only a few minutes to "no side," ande in this time Aber- ystwyth made an effort to retrieve the position, but the whistle soon sounded, leaving the game drawn. FINAL SCORE. Goals. Aberystwyth 2 Carnarvon. 2 HEMARKS. The game taken as a whole was exciting, al- though it had a disappointing finish. Aberystwyth y played a winning game to within twenty minutes of the end, but after that they seemed to become completely demoralised, and were utterly unable to deal with the attacks of the Carnarvon men. Indeed, had the game lasted a few minutes longer, there can be little doubt but that the Northerners would have secured the victory. Comparing the two teams, howc 21, no unbiassed spectator would deny that the Aberystwyth combination was the superior. Their attacks, although not all that could be desired, were better in point of finish, and should have led to two additional goals at least during the first half. Carnarvon, on the other hand, were undoubtedly the better trained team. In the closing stages of the game they dis- played a remarkable freshness and vigour, and it would have gone ill with their opponents had it been decided to play a further half-hour. Aberyst- wyth were well-served in the forward line; there was one exception in the half-back line, and one in the back line. The match is to be re-played on Saturday next at Towyn, and the Aberystwyth men will require to be in the best of condition, and play bang up to the finish if they mean to come out on top.
