AGRICULTURE. ) GOVERNMENT'S AGRICULTURAL POLICY. I THE PREMIER'S ANNOUNCEMENT. j THREE GUARANTEES. i Tho Prime Minister on Tuesday made his promised announcement- of the Govern- ment's agricultural polkry to a represent a tivo audience of latidoavncr. farmers, ami labourer* summoned from all part? of the United Kingdom by the Board of ??ri- cu lture. 'i?t poUcy comprised three ?aran- 1 f/i A • (li FROM THE STATE TO THE FARMER. A guarantee, which mut have reference to the iix-reaped eost (,f production, for a sufficient period to make the farmer feel it ia worth his while to break up land. The amount and period are being ex. amined bv tho Commission now sitting. "2) FROM THE LANDOWNER TO THE FARMER. Where his farm is sold over a farmer' s hoiwl, unless Ute land is required for pub- lic prposes or a ease is made out that he is a biul cultivator, he is to be granted special ]>rote<:tion where his case does not come under existing legislation. Where ho is given noticc ill order that the rent may be increased, provision is to be mane for arbitration failing agreement between the parties. Strengthening of existing compensation legislation to be considered if nooessary, (3) FHOI THE FARMER TO THE STATE. A guarantee that he will do his best to increase production. Under the Corn Pro- duction Act. tho Premier pointed out, there arc powers to deal with the slack farmer. The Premier made it clear that he had no hopes of a return to pre-wa.r prices for corn, and pointed out that higher costs of production would aJso govern prices in the great wheat-producing countries. Tho Premier urged that agriculture, whose production of grain increased by one-fifth during the in-af, must further in- crease its outpii". If, as was oomputed, 150 millions' worth of food could be pro- duced hero whic4i we now imported, the value of the- sovereign would ri se with the consequent reduction of the adverse bai- anoe. Mr Llovd George made a brief refer- ence to the position of the agricultural lab- ourer. whom he urged not to press for further reduction in hours in view of the -ita,t importance of increased produc- tion.

] -THE DAI MY SHOW.
] THE DAI MY SHOW. The Dairy Show was opened on Tues- day at the Agricultural Hall, London, under the auspices of the British Dairy Farmers' Association. Tho entries of cattle constituted a record, there being 292 exhibits. In tJle milking and butter tests —perhaps the most popular feature of the show-there were 325 competitors, com- pared with 196 at tho last show. In the poultry classes, which were stronger than ever, thera were 2736 birds. An unusual feature was the complete absence of bacon and hams, and the en- tries for butter showed a big drop--242, aga,i».st 3ó9 last yr-but a satisfactory increase was shown in the exhibits of new and improved inventions. The total num- ber of entries was 7152, against 6963 last year. The championship prize of £ 5, presented by Lord Bledisloe for the best Cheshire cheese in the show, was ,taken by Mr A l zen by Mr Charles lfi. Parton, of Haughton Hall Farm. Tarporley. 'J'he Elkington cup for the best exhibit of butter was taken by Mrs William Irving, of Topping Castle, Headsnook, Carlisle.

I THE H-41, SHORT AG Z. I NEW GOVERNMENT ORDER. The Board of Trade have issued the foliowi.fig:- In view of the possibility of a serious shortage of hay in this country through the early exhaustion of the 1918 crop and the deficiency in the 1919 crop, it is necessary that the Government should have reliable information as to the sup- plies available from time to time until the 1920 crop is available. An Order, the Hay Returns Order, 1919, has therefore been ma.do requiring i>ersons obtaining or acquiring hay of the 1919 crop in Great Britain direct from producers or import- ing such ha.y into Great Britain, whether chaffed or choppod or not, to make monthly re-turns within four da-ys of the end of each month as to the quantities of hay they purchase and distribute. Forms on which the returns are to be made can be obtained upon application to the Sec- retary, Central Council Forage Depart- ment, Board of Trade, 47, Victoria efcreet London, S. W.I.

FARM NOTES. *-
FARM NOTES. Over the week-end and up to Wednesday the weather was quite mild and stimmc-rllke, aniai-ked contrast to t'ne cold wind and the showers of rain and hail exjierieneed tho previous week. Farmers and gardeners have thus been able to itiake, up for the interruptions of last, week. On Thursday < morning, however, the sky W#<s overcast, • and the temperature lower. tiho w (■rs of rain Aet-e also experienced Owing to the kiudly interest of Colonel the Hon.

This, no doubt, will III- terest Mr J. E. Rac, exporter for South Afric-a. Th ru for Iialf-pounds of butter made in the Agricultural Hall, Liiing- ton, at the Briti>h Dairy Show, became something approiuhing a free fight on Wednesday evening, many people getting their clothing torn. The price per ^lb. was Is 3d (the control rate), on which there was a dead loss of lOd. British butter actually costs to-day 4s 2d per jound to produce. has been much laughter among the officials over the fact that by a hum- orous oversight Lord Bledisloe and the Council awl steward.. regaled them,selves on bread and margarine at lunch and tea, despite that th?y have been i?it't'int?nd- in? the making of the choicest butter lU Ing t.'tle iliak-ifig of ale c4ioice-,t 'otti.ter lit Foot-and-mouth disease among cattle at Great Gransden, Huntingdonshire, has been confirmed and an order prohibit- i ing the movement of animals in the sur- rounding aiea made. Both cattle and sheep showed a con- siderable increase inilumbers at last week's markets. Quality shewed no improve- 1 incut, ti few beasts being rejected, for slaughter at many markets, while very few are being super-graded. in the case of sheep and lambs the in- creases at London and Salford amounted to 5QOO and 8000 respectively, while at Ne\, castle-on-Tyne nearly 5000 more were ehowu than the previous week; tile buuc of the supply at the latter place, how- ever, consisted of Black faced lambs and ewes of indifferent quality, wlule the quality generally of both sheep and lambs was not very -good and at some places a number were rejected for slaughter. Pigs s howed a considerable increase in numbers at Birmingham, and slight im- provements elsewhere, but the supplies are totally insufficient for requirements. Calves for -laughter have been jll great request, as mucti as £ 17 10s being paid for a ca:f at York and £15 15s at North- ampton. All the eaives in the market were sold for slaughter, none being bought to rear. In the store markets only strong cat tic in forward condition meet with auy de- mand, young beasts and thin wintering cattle being practically unsaleabble except at very low prices, in fact several lots have recently changed hands at less money than they cost in the spring. Small store pigs arc decidedly cheaper, the chief demand being for well-meated stores in forward uondition, suitable for immediate finishing. A difficult point arises in connection with the present distribution of the women enrolled in the Land Army as a mobile forec. They had been of sjK-cial service to the farmers under war coudiwons. Con- sequently they have been moved in many instanees from their own home county to some other part of the country in response to the special need of n'he season. It will, therefore, be necessary to atri-ange through the Women's County Organisa- tion for a careful survey to be made, and arrMtgcmentt, undertaken to transfer women to their county of origin should they so desire, The Ministry of Transport have caused instructions to be issued to all railway companies that, for t,he period of one month, seeds forwardc-d by railway com- panies for autumn sowing must be given preferential treatment, and that for pur- poses of priority the traffic shall be dealt with as perishable goods under the ordi- nary freight conditions, Mr W. Puuis, who was publicity officer at the Food Production Dej>artment and a fterwards at the Board of Agriculture, ha! now left the Board to take up the editor- ship of "Farm Life." At a meeting of the Agricultural Wages Board held in London on Thursday, Sir Ailwyn Feliowes presiding, an order was made giving effect to the Board's proposal to vary the minimum rates of wages for all classes of made workers in 'Jhcshire. The order, which will come into operation on Monday, October 27th, provides for the payment of minimum rates of wages on the basis of a 64-hour week all the year round, the weekly ratej in the case of workers of 21 years of age and over be- ing :-Head stockmen, head team.men and bead shepherds, 46G 6d; second stockmen, second teamsmen anr seoon,d shepherd s 445 6d; other workers, 42s 6d; with pro- portionately lower rates for workers under 21 years. A national rat week began on Monday, when a systematic campaign, the object of which is greatly to reduce if not to exter- minate this pest, opened. Every local authority in the country has beeei asked to take part, and the r<vjkwise promises to be a good one. so much so that the Board of Agriculture are hopeful that by the end of the week million* of rats will be de- stroyed. with a consequential saving; of many thousands of pounds' worth of food- stuffs. Mrs Rowlands, Hendre Howel, Llan- gefni. has just $OlJ her champion two- yea*-old filly, at Crewe, to Mr E. E. Jones, Botegir, Cerrigydrutduxi. a well-known shire-horse breeder. The price paid was £ 300. At tht" same sale Mr O. 11. Owen Rhosbadrig, Ty Croes,. exhibited a foal, which was pUoed third in a class of over a hundred, and stood fourth in the cham- pion class. It took a £ 5 prize and was sold for 195 guineas.

S'.nnott-Jones, The Vicarage, Capel Curig, applying for permission to erect a mem- orial at the side of the main road at Chpet ('urig. The Surveyor reported that since t,he receipt of this letter, application had been made for permission to erect a mem- orial in the centre of the main road, near the church. 'Hie Commitiee decided not to object to the IlH'1I101.iaJ be,;lIg erected on cit'ilf'r. of tll(' S,t, b-tit if it is erected in the middle of the main road. plans must be submitted, and approved by the County Surveyor, and subject to the l,iirt,ii iiiiL:t-tikijig to have the memorial proj>erlv lit. Mr G reen (Rettw.sy<oed) objected to the j memorial being placcd in such a dangerous place. It might bc, ti to-ble fi-otti t mental ]x>int of view, but would be dan- gerous on a dark night. 'Hie Clerk (Mr Jones-Morris) pointed out that the memorial must be lighted. M r Green There will be no guarantee | that it will be lighted. Lord-Lieutenant (Mr J. Ernest Greaves) said that plans nm-t be swbmit- ted before the memorial would be ap- proved, and so far no idan-s had been re- ceived. DANGEROUS TARRED ROADS. I It wivs r<»ported that a petition had been received from farmers and other protest- ing against the dangerous state of the tarred road between Wacnfawr all d Bedd- MrR. G.Jm?a?e<i wL?h?)''Itwas gckrt. w l i(? t b,,il it A-a? not lb¡e for the Surveyor to leave a portion OIL each side of the rosid uutarred, so that horses could use them. The Surveyor stated that Carnarvonshire wasuujque jt having Mich uutarred tracks of road. but it wa-s a curious fact that hor>es jiever tfaYelM aiong thooe tracks (laugher). Dr. Rowlands agreed with the Surv<vor and said there was ample room for hoix s on these untarred tracks. The drivers of horse- and <sirts who rambled across the road should be puni-hed. Mr Henry Parry said the road com- plaiiHMi of was like g!as.s. If an accident happened to any of his horses he would make the County Council pay for it. It was stated tjiat the tarring season was over, and JJohhillg (")111.1 be done. I HOME SERVICE AMBULANCE. I A letter wa:, suljmitHHl 11'0:11 tlie ived Cross Society offering the loan of ail am- bulance to the Council for the use of the county, provided the Couneil paid the C-o,.t of itituranee and upkeep. It was decid- ed to accept the offer, and that two motor ambulances be secured if possible, one to be used for infectious di&ease.s and the other for general pur)*>ses. The two an> bulance«j will be under the suj>crvi>ion of the County Medical Officer. Upon the recommendation of Mr Gwyn- eddon Davies. it was decided to re-aflirm the resolution pased at the last meeting asking the Red Cross Society for a grant towards the proposed Public Health 1 la- boratory in connection with the University Collage of North WTales. I GROWTH OF TUBERCULOSIS. I A tuberculosis return for the quarter en ded June 30th, 1919, was submitted. 'l"here were 64 eases under observation, arid 93 new oases. From 1913 to 1917, 1394 (-asfs were notified, and 332 received sana- torriun or hospital treatment, and 265 im- proved. while 725 died. The houses ten- anted by the patients were classified:— Good, 673; fair, 566: and bad. 106. The Chairman said it wa%a melancholy fact that the deoat rate from tnljerenlosa» was as high now as it had ever been. Mr Hyde (Conway) a,sked how this in- crease was accounteil for. AVas it due to inferior houses'' The Chairman Only eight per cent, of the houses have been d,:s"iÍtie,d as bad. Dr. Pitrry: Ilie fact remains that in Carnarvon,^re housing is one of the wor.st causes of tuberculosis. The Chairmau: I am only quoting the official figures—only ûi,ght per cent. of the houses are bad. Mr John Owen Someone has been very lenient- in making this examination. Dr. He I aby (Bangor) thought the ques- tion of houses had been loft to the various local authorities. I PRINTING OF VOTERS' LIST. I Thf" Clerk announced that a new form for the registration of voters would ba issued, which,, ho hoped, would have the effect of reducing the cost of printing by one-half. I PENRHYNDEUDRAETH HOME. I Dr. Parry Edwards reported tha.t he had paid a visit t-o tlte Penrhyndeu- drac.th Home and reported that all the patients are being well cared for, and that, the condition of the home is excellent. Mr Maurice Jones (Pwllheli) stated that there was no land attached to the Peti- ents could work. He questioned whether this institution was an aj>propriate place to send th<\sg }>afcients. Steps had been taken by Carnarvonshire to seotfe a more appro{t!J=Í6ote hOflW. The Chairman: 'Hie buikling has been certified under the Mental Deficiency Act. » I INFANT CLINIC AT GROESLON. I The OODunittoo under the Maternity and Child Welfare Act reported that Bryn- rhos ("Siapel sohoolroom, utilised for hold- ing tlie Infant Clinic at Groe-lon, was no longer available for this purpose, unless a rent of So was paid for the use of the rooms. in reply to Dr. Hel.sby. the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Parry Edwards) said the Committee at Groeslon did not think it right to pity 1;5 a year for the room. Another room, provided gratis. was now uvailable. I UNPROFITABLE SMALL HOLDINGS. I The Treasurer reported that during the lalft four years E1364 Is 5d had been lost on the small holdings in the county, as fol- 10w;£266 10s lid in 1916. EZ66 15.1 7d in 1917, £ 261 lis 9d in 1918, and JE509 3s 2d*up to March, 1919. 'llie Presidetit of the Board of Agriculture had written that, as the Council's claim for the payment of one-half of tlie loss incurred up to March 31st, 1915, in carrying out the scheme, was settled in 1915. the Board regretted that they were unable to entertain a further claim in respect of the scheme before 1921. Hie Cleork said they expected the Go- vernment to pay tlie whole of tlie loss. Mr Ivor Pryce asked how it was that the loss for 1919 wa. greater than in any previous year, in view of the fact that agriculture was said to be booming. Treasurer said the increase was due to the extra cost of repairs, and adj ust- ment in connection with incotue tax. [ LAND FOR EX SERVICE MKV 1 A letter wa-s received from Mr D. Ho- well Jones, solicitor,* Llanrwst, offerijig three farms in tiie pariah of Maenan for land settlement. The Emergency Commit- tee was asked to visit and report on the farms. Jt was also decided that the Emergency Committee for the Carnarvon district be asked to inspect amd report upon the suit- ability of the following- farms:—Flas-y- boni, Pengrawr. and HMnittn, Llanrug; Bodfan Fidds. lolandwtog; Giasgoed, part 4 of Pwrtftfon, and part of Co-vSieWi. EXTERMINATION OF RATS. '1 It w? reix>r i i?mt no money ha.d b?en | pa?d by &e p4loe f?r the OOstnmtion of 1 8Ms Siam tiie uwt m'??mg of the Oout?y Council, and that there were several claims awaiting payment. The Exf^iutive Committee under the Dijeasets of Animal s Aot ro*>lved that the course alr«-a<lv a.doj>ted of paying l^d for eaoh rat-tail produced to any member of the Police force be not interfered with until the Committee have bad all oppor- tunity of observing the results. It was also decided that, in future, no payments be made to applicants unless the rat-tails are produced to the police. SHEEP-WORRYING. Mr Richard Jones complained of the ravages of dogs among sheep flo< ks. Four sheep belonging to him were killed in one night. and 15 en a neighbouring farm. The Chairman: 'Tlie best plan will be. for farmers to pay licences for their dogs. The Clerk said there was a bye-law that dogs must wear collars, and must not be allowed out at night. Why did not Mr R. Jones foUow up the ca.se and prose- c- it t- c- Mr R. Jones: The police told me no- thing could be done. Mr It. J. W il!iam> (Bangor) thought it the duty of the jioJice to that dogs wore collars, and were indoors at night. Mr J. E. Greaves was convinced that the only remedy would be the withdrawal of exemptions. There were between 4COO and 5000 dogs in Carnarvonshire exempt- cd from payi].g tax (:\Yoiec: "It:" a scandal!"). It was the dogs which ram- bled about at night that caused the mis- chief. Dr. Parry agreed that the police should be lIIore vigilant. Mr f). O. Williams (Clynnog) thought that small farmers were keeping far too many dogs. One dog was .sufficient for a small farmer unless his f I-Til NN on tile mountain side. As to dogs out at night, the jxvlice should be empowered to shoot them (hear. hear). It wa.s decided to send a resolution to the Police Committee on the. aiid alao to the County Councils Association urging that no dogs should be exempt- ed. tttEA SUPERS COMPLIMENTED. I Mr 0. T. Williams, chairman of the Fin- ance Committee, rejiorted that the au4t had just been completed. The Council's turnover was £ 193.000. and the fact that not :t penny had been surcharged reflected great credit lIlJOIL their Treasurers (hear, Ilea r). EFFECT OF HEAVY INCOME TAX. The local Tax-ation Officer reported that £ 4755 was received for 1913-19, in res;>eet of local taxation. He foared that the heavy income-tax and HII' j/1C'Nis,"tl cost of maintaining large establishments, would prevent licences fo'r male servants, arnitM- ial bearings, dogs, etc., returning to the salite ligtires as in pre-war days. THE BURDEN' OF THE RATES. i Mr O. T. Williams reported that the turnover this year would be £ 266,637. out of which the county must lind £ 133,732. One large increase came under the head of police charges:. J^ately. the police had been given a lIe seale of pay. which was in;p:>cd (he used that word in its real sen>e"! upon tiie county by the Government, and the Police Committee had no alter- native but ti) accept it. In May it was estimated that £ 17.0!X) would suffice to meet the police charges, but as the result of tlie new scale they would want £ 28.362. To meet the additional exjienditure of £HJ,531, they received a grant, leaving the county to find MCO, more than they an- ticipated in May last. That £ 5000 would be equal to a lid rate. Tlie Finance Com- mittee had piotested against the new scale of ptiy to the Police Force, which had been imtX)t.eJ u)toit local authorities without any regard to local conditions. In March last a discussion took place between the Education Committee and the representatives of the teachers, and in May the Finance Committee thought that an additional sum of satisfy the jUtL demands of the teailiers. The Salaries Committee had since agreed to give all additional sum of £ 17:500 to the teachers this year, and this would ciome up for confirmation at tlve Education Com- mit-tee next week. llrus an additional sum of £ 6500 must be provided for in the estimates, and that would entail an addi- tional rate of 24d for the, coming hadf- year. The county r-ate. instead of being- Is 9d. as was anticipated last May. would be increased by ljd, and the elementary ]-a.t-e iut:r<???i by 2?d. The otj?er rat?s would remain unchanged. OFFICIALS' SALARIES INCREASED." Hie Finance Committee recommended that the Clerk to tlie County Council should be a full-time appointment, and that the Acting Qerk (Mr J. J'ones- Morris) be appointed clerk at a salary of £ 660 per annum, as from January 1st, 1930. and that. he should receive, in addition, the Statutory allowances ab registration officer, also jS50 as clerk to the Mental Deficiency Cojiiraittee, aiid any allowances a. clerk to the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee, an d as clerk to the "Venereal Diseases Committee, as may be granted out of public funds accord- ing to the scheme. The Committee also recommended that the Clerk be allowed to retain his office of ok'rk to the justices in Merionethshire as now held by him. and that he be allowed to attend the se--ions for the division for which he acts as clerk on Thursdays twice a mouth. The Committee also considered the posi- I tion of the two Treas-ureas, and rccom- ilit-ii(led that the salaries of each be in- creased to £2500 per annum. Committee also recommended the following increa.sc\s: — Mr Evan Morgan, from J6104 to per annum: Mr Eillis H. Jones, from £ HM to £120; Mr Idwal Williams, from 15s to 20s a week: Miss Annie P. Jones, front 10s to 15s per week; that Mr J. T. Edwardcs Jones, local taxa- tion officer, be paid £ 125 per annum with E25 jier annum in lieou of commis-ion; that the salary of Inspector David Griffith, W oights and Mea.»ures De^wj-tment, be increased from £ 160 to L200, Aitit the usual travelling eijienses. The Committee recommended that Dr. Parry Edwards, the medical officer, should ilec),-IiN,e it "IL L s,rv >f EB? receive a salary of £850, with £ 140 travel- ling expenses. In the Education Department, tlie Com- mittee recohuiiended the following creases:—Mr C. Llew. Jones, from £ 120 to JB160 I'l' annum; Mr Thomas Parry. from £ 140 to 9160 and Mr Rowland Lloyd Jones, architect, from f,,300 to £ 400 pe,c j all iluiii. Mr H. G. Jones faded to see liow the Clerk could give his whole time to the work if he Sras also to be clerk to tfie Agri- cultural Committee. Tlie Clerk: That office will be abolished in a few week*' time. Mr Ivor Joneos (Aber) asked; whether Mr Rowland tloyd Jones niw a wiioile-time official. 'Hie Chairman: No. Mr Ivor Jones thought they might get a whole-time architect for £ 400 a y<?r. 'There were a number of young men Who would be pleased to accept the pt a.t th&t ifgure, and devote the ^iole of their time to the work. He underfed that Mr Jones undertook private work, and was architect under the Carnarvon Housing Scheme, which brought Jiiin E1250. '1110 postt of county arduteet sliouid be publicly adver- tised. He moved that the recommenda- tion as it affected the Architect be re- "ferred back. Mr John Owen (Llandudno): I suggest tha4'. tlie County Council have no power to deal with this matter. It belongs to tiie Education Committee. r Ivor Jones: Theti. I projiose that his salary be reduoeJ by t:399 (laughter). Mr J. T. Jones (Griocied1\ pointed out til at Hw post was advertised when Mr Rowland Hoyd Jones was appointed. Mr 0. T. WiUiams pointe<i out that Mr Jones had a 8t.a.ff to maintain. Tlie money did not entirely go into the pocket of the Arciritect. Mr Ivor Jonee: I never said where the mouey went to. I made no insinuation against Mr Jones, but I shoaki fail in III duty as a representative of the public if I did not deaw aitea^on to this matter. Mr Joitn Owen (Uandudno^ stated that the Architect had been paid £ 300 a yetu: as a part-time official since 1903. He was grossly uiiderpnid. If he had been pa-id at the same rate as other architects were paid, the county would have to pay him from £ 1200 to £ 1500 a year. Mr Gwyneddon Davic> moved that the whole of the recommendations be referred back. He said he had persistently oppos- ed the practice of piling on offices oil the same offic ials. They as Liberals denounced it when it was done by the old magistracy of the county, sjid now they themselves •were guilty of the same tiling. He would like to know what was meant by a whole- time official. 'The Committee recommend- ed tliat the Clerk to the County Council should be a full-time apjvointmerit. and then they heard that lie was to be regis- tration officer. 'llie Clerk: He is that by virtue of tho Act of Parliament, and cannot be done away with. Mr Gwvneddon Davies said they had no information as to the emoluments of that office. Mr Jone^-Morris was_al.'o clerk to the Mental Deficiency Committee, clerk to the Maternity and Child Welfare Com- mittee,, and clerk to the Venereal Diseases Committee, for which ho would be pa?" extra. Did the Committee intend that the Clerk should reside at Carnarvon? Mr Muir (Bangor) said the report was the fruit of three or four meetings of the Finance Committee, none bf which were attended by Mr Gwyneddon Davies al- though he wa.s a member. If they had given Mr Jones-Morris an inehisive salary it would have meant a tremendous to the county. If they had dOllt. that they could not have claimed anything in re- spect to his w ork as clerk of "the Mental Deficiency. Venereal Diseases, and other Committees. If the Council insisted upon dis»-us>ing the matter they had better go into committee. Mr O. T. Williams said the Clerk inu-t be at the office when it was opened in the morning, and remain until it was closed. Where he lived did not concern the Council. He would be at his jost du- ring office hours. By an ever-whelming majority all the recommendations were carried. Mr Iv. Pryce. (Bangor) moved that the county rate be reduced by Id on the ground that the Finance (bmmittee had not taken into account IZOO whi,,g the Road Board had promised to refund to the Council. 'Tlie rates were becoming seri- OIJ. There was a Is increase last spring, and now they hud gone up another 4d Mr O. T. Williams said that Wttiing would give the Committee greater p'easure than to reduce the rates, but they h;W no guarantee t.hat the Road Board would re- fund the money during the present year. The Chairman remarked that as it was. they had budgeted far too close. Tho motion was defeated. COLL EOF COURT' OF GOVERNORS. Mosrs Robert Hughes (Bangor). Ivor Jones (Aber). two Labour members. atii Mr Eilis W. Roberts were elected on the Court- of Governors of tlie University Col- lege of Nortit Air Ivor Jones remarked that Labour particularly wished to be represented on the Court. Mr Ellis W. Roberts did not desire to be re-elected. Nothing was done by the Court except to confirm what had been done by Messrs Cwvneddon Dayit's and Co. (laughter). Tlie, t-o t-he and had a nice cup of tea afterwards (laughter). Mr J. R. Pritchard We want critics. EXIT GERMAN PRISONERS. It was stated t-hat all the Gorman pri- soners would be out of the. county by the end of thi; month. NORTH WALES COUNTIES TRAIN- ING COLLEGE. It was announced that the Committee of this College at Bangor had purchased for the purposes of a hostel the George Hotel, at a cost of £ 10*000. Tlie .repairs and alterations would cost £4000, the cen- tral heating £ 2000, and there will be other details, bringing the total expenditure up to £ 16,836. This new development would, it was anticipated, not represent any charge on the rates. Moit of the furni- ture required had been .secured from the Government Disposal Board for about £2000. SURVEYOR.S ESTIMATE- £ 44.450. The Surveyor's provisional annu.al e.ti- mat-e for 1900-21 amounted to L44,450, compared with 946.750 for 1919-20. 'rhc sum of £ 35.000 is to be spent on ruraJ main roads ai)d LM on urban main roa<ls. WORKMEN S WAGES. A letter was submitted from the Secre- tary of the National Union of General Workers, asking thut the increase of 5s be paid M from the 1st August, and not the 1st pay day in August, to the men em- ployed on the c-ounty main roads. The matter was referred to the Clerk with a view to a satisfactory settlement. OVERCROWDED PUBLIC OMNIBUSES. The Surveyor's Committee's attention was called to the necessity of bye-laws being formed to prevent the present over- crowding of public omnibuses, but the Clerk explained that it will be necessary for a new Act of Parliament to be paq;e,d before any action can be taken by tile County Council. The Chief-Con stable was asked to eall the attention of the proprietor. of public om- nibuses to the.ir present overcrowded state, and tho grltvu danger to passengers' lives. SHEEP SCAB. A letter was read from the Chief Con- stable suggesting that the committee con- sider tho advi-ability of making regula- tions under Article 9 of the Sheep Scab Order of 1905 (as amended by the Sheep Soab Order of 1910) regarding sheep brought into this county. It was pointed out that, only )),arts of Merionethshire and Denbighshire a-re covered by the Double Dipping Order, and that soab could be traced toO 1 removed from Merioneth- shire to this county. It was ret-Dlved that consideration of making regulations under Article 9 of the Ordt'r a. to sheep brought into tlfis county be deferred until next, spring, also the letter received from tlie Royal Agricultural Socieiv. OVERCROWDING OF CINEMA HALLS. Attention was called to overcrowding bv children in some halls, and the pohoe wpt-e requested to pay particular attention to the matter, as well as soe the licencees con- cerned.

THOSE were questions asked by the writer of "Wales and Welshmen" in the Liverpool Courier last Monday, in reference to the "culpable negligence"of the said Welsh members in the matter of the Principality's devitalized Board of Health. Much more will be heard of this matter. The "Courier's" brilliant author of "Wales and Welshmen," a feature appearing every Monday is stirring things up. He is specially qualified, for he is in close personal touch with each of the national institu- tions of Wales. j He is, therefore, in a position | to write, with a sure and an inti- Inate touch, of the distinct and varied forces that are now moulds ltig the destinies of the Welsh people.

"A near relative then suggested Zam-Bulc, so every night I smeared a quantity of Zam-Buk over the affected parts.
