1. New Socicfics. — Five new sociolies were refi'lstercd — two in llic 

 Oranf^'e Free State and three in the Transvaal. Two of these deal 

 with citrus, one supplies its members with dairy cattle, and two are 

 tobacco societies. 



2. lieviordl of Societie.-! from ]ie<)ii^icr-. — Two societies were 

 removed from the Register of CVj-oi)erative AoTicultural Societies 

 during the year, viz., Pretoria Landhouw Ko-operatieve Vereniging 

 and Dewetsdorp Ko-operatieve Landhouw Vereniging. Both were 

 general produce societies. The first-named society was formed in 

 1918, and has not, as stated in the })revious Eejjort, at any period of 

 its existence been able to make any headway. The dissolution of the 

 society, however, involved no loss to its memliers ; on the contrary it 

 was in a position to pay out a small dividend. The Dewetsdorp 

 society was registered in 1920, and dealt mostly with wool. It was 

 put into liquidation, as the members decided to transfer the business 

 to a larger institution.
