We should like to see all the farmers in every agricultural district form 
themselves into unions which, although separated by geographical conditions, 
would, by their combined action, become a powerful clement in the dissemina-.— 
tion of sound views of the real needs of their high calling, and help materially 
in the removal of obstacles to progress and generally in the promotion of their a hs 
common benefit. oe 
Each loeal union would study the requirements of its district, and atthe ~ 
meetings of representatives, such as that of June last at Gatton (and which itis 
hoped will be heldat least once in each year), the discussion by competent men of ‘ 
specially considered subjects could scarcely fail to make due impression upon = 
the opinions of members of the Government and of the Legislatureandupon the 
people of the colony generally. (ia) sea 
We trust that ere long we shall be able to record a large increase in the 
membership as well as a general extension of the field of work of these re 
associations throughout the whole of Queensland. ee
