Meeting of Farmers at Buntingford
The Cost of Farm Cultivation
A meeting of local farmers was held at the Poor Law Institution on Wednesday in last week, when the question of the cost of farm cultivation was discussed.
The chair was taken by Captain E.T. Morris J.P., and between 40 and 50 farmers were present.
The chairman gave a very interesting address on the cost of cultivations, his figures being based on the records taken at the Herts Agricultural Institution at "Oakland." A discussion followed when several questions were asked and answered.
The meeting was a very successful one, and resulted in the formation of a Buntingford and District Agricultural Debating Society. Capt. E.T. Morris was elected President, with Mr G. Scarborough-Taylor as Hon. Sec., and Mr A. Macarthur as Hon. Treas.
The committee of ten elected were all local farmers. The subscription to the society was fixed at 2/6 per year, and meetings for discussion on important farming questions will be held from time to time.
A hearty vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business of the meeting.
