This position was brought to light at a meeting of the County Council at Wakefield yesterday when Councillor Dennis Eaden, sitting as an Independent Labour member for the Hoyland constituency, declared I have come to the conclusion sometimes that I have joined a secret society. I have been industry must be perfectly well aware that the Government, at the next review of farm prices, is likely to drive as tough a bargain as possible within the somewhat narrow field allowed by the' limitations on price variations contained in the long-term policy agreement. It is, however, apparent from the agenda for next week's annual meeting of the National Farmers' Union that the rank-and-file of the industry is determined to fight to the last ditch. lhe agenda contains an even larger number of resolutions than usual enjoining the union's negotiators to stand no nonsense from anybody at all blackballed into the bargain."

Alderman W.

M. Hyman, leader of tiations and how delicate they will be on this occasion The Devon contingent, with, the smell of what they evidently regard as betrayal in their nostrils, may prove tenacious. But it may certainly be expected that efforts will be made to prevent anything on this line from going on record from the annual conference. The wealfflh of resolutions if that is the right description on the price review will probably, in practice, be reduced to one or two composite resolutions designed not to tie the hands of the union's negotiators. Unrealistic The agenda must appear, even t6 them, a little unrealistic in view of recent happenings.

The circumstances in which a Minister of -Agriculture, however understanding of the industry's problems, has recently taken over control of the national can scarcely be encouraging even to moderate optimists in the industry. In his first public speech since taking over Mr Heathcoat Amory's Ministry Mr John Hare was careful to give a reminder that, in the sober battle against inflation "we are all in together." Mr Godber. Joint Parliamentary Secretary, in a speech last week issued the sharp warning that the British farmer's claim to first call on the British market must take some account of his ability to produce at competitive prices. And Mr Butler has issued, in his own constituency, the unkind reminder that agriculture involves one of the biggest grant-spending items on the estimate side. Supplementary estimates It happens that the supplementary estimates for food and agriculture are due to be published the day after the farmers' conference has ended.

They, will almost certainly reveal that the original estimate of 232.2 millions as the total of support prices and production grants has been exceeded, and the largest increases are likely to be in the most expensive items fatstock, pigs, and eggs. Some commentators have professed to see in the arguments over next year's estimates for agriculture a major contributing factor to the rift between Mr Thonreycroft and his colleagues. Whether this is so or not, the farming industry must certainly now be counting itself fortunate that Mr Heathcoat Amory got the 1957 act on the statute book before crossing the line to view these estimates from the Treasury side. That act protects them from any drastic 'cut in the guarantees, and, indeed, guarantees them some portion of any major increase in production costs.

Something more than full recoupment at the 1958 Review, with no deductions on the grounds of increased efficiency is the ambitious demand put forward by the Buckinghamshire branch. This resolution points out that the industry has absorbed more than 135 millions in increased costs over the past Ave years, and its supporters feel that agriculture has thus contributed more than its full share" towards the stability of the national economy. The Derbyshire branch is even more ambitious.

It asks for recoupment of all the increased costs which have been incurred during past years. Serious decline Many of the resolutions speak of a serious decline in farm incomes, several italicising the adjective real as applied to income assessment. Comparisons are made between farming and other industries in that respect, and the point is made that increased production has not earned any. increase in the personal incomes of farmers in general.

'Flu epidemics A doctor-member of the council complained that it was "absurd and wrong that during an influenza epidemic assistant county medical officers should conduct their routine medical inspections in schools which were up to three-quarters empty. The councillor, Dr John A. Stevens, of Kirkburton, said that in the schools they were looking for squints, flat feet, knock-knees, and filling in forms in triplicate when general practitioners were literally dying on their feet trying to cope with hundreds of sick people.

Dr Stevens was speaking in support of a recommendation proposing that in the event of a serious winter epidemic the assistant county medical officers should be given leave of absence with pay to volunteer to assist genera practitioners.
