Wheat and winter oab are looking exceptionally well, and wheat plaiiting is being proceeded with. More than half of the area ordered is already turned up. Addresses on the Corn Production.Act were delivered (under the auspices of the local branch of the Farmers' Union) aot, Erwood Market Hall the other evening, the chief .speakers being Messrs. D. Thomas, (agricultural organiser) and J.R.Hache (Knighton) and Aid. Mer- vyn Davies (Talgarth). Lambs are now beginning to frolic about in the neigh- bourhood of Cwmdu. The majority cf farmer. purpose- ly delayed the advent of lambing this season, because of the severe loss sustained last year through severe weather, when 40 to 50 per cent, were destroyed. One ewe at Middle Gaer (anxious to do a bit to relieve the food shortage) brought four lambs the other day. There were no fat cattle at Builth on Monday with the exception of two bulls, which were graded at iG!- and 71/- per cwt., respectively.

TRACTOR PLOUGHING. i -I
TRACTOR PLOUGHING. i A RECORD WEEK IX RADNORSHIRE. The total acreage ploughed by the live Titans thi.S week in Radnorshire, says a correspondent, amounts to 66. thus establishing a new record for these tractors, Two of the new Burford Cleveland caterpillar tractors were put into commission during the week and account- ed for ¡., acres, thus making tlie total for the county 75 acres. A notable performance was that of tractor 1972, which ploughed 22 acres in the week of >ix days by day- light only. This tractor recently accomplished 6\ acres in one day on the farm of Mr Hamer, Harpton..The team, driver Oill and ploughman Powell, are to be con- gratulated on securing both the daily and weekly record for the county. There is keen competition among the tractor teams at present for the prizes offered for ploughing in this j county, but its to the open competition for the Self- fridge prizes the teams that plough -seven days a week in other counties are pretty sure to beat those like the Radnor teams, who don't. It seems a pity that some ,.ort of general agreement on the point could not be established, in view of the fact that the first and second prizes for acreage are 1:50 and £3:1, and for lowest. fuel consumption the same, for each of three different period. or about £500 in all.

WELSH FREE CHURCHES.
WELSH FREE CHURCHES. MEETING OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE. RELIGIOUS TEACHING IX DAY SCHOOLS. A meeting of the Executive of the Xational Free Church Council of Wales was held at Shrewsbury on Friday, when Sir Beddoe Rees (president) presided over it large attendance, which included Dr. Black Jones (Builth Wells) ,Rev. Idris Davies (Hay), Prof. D. Miall Edwards and Prof. Joseph Jones (Brecon), Rev. Rees Evaivs (Llanwrtyd Wells), and Mr H. D. Phillips (Llan- drindod Wells). A resolution of sympathy was passed with Mrs Her- bert Lewis (a member of the executive) on the death of Mrs W. S. Caiue. Religious Teaching in Day Schools. Rev. J. Robert- (secretary) brought forward the let- ter (published in the "Manchester Guardian"), in which the BLshop of St. Asaph expressed HIS view that. it was, quite possible to draw up an inter-denominational syllabus for Biblical instruction in elementary schools which would be generally acceptable, and stating that -lie should esteem it a great privilege to sene on a body representative of the various religious bodies in Wales. A further letter from the Bishop stated that he was willing -to ,trve on "ueh a committee if it re- presented not only North Wales, as was first suggested, but South Wales as well. In his view, the eonferecne should at first be private and informal. A letter was also read from the Rev. Ellis Jones (Bangor), by whom the .suggestion of the conference wa.s first made. Dr. Cernyw Williams (Bangor) moved that-they ex- press approval of the proposal, with a. view t-o seeing what, could be done.—Rev. W J). Rowlands .seconded. Principal Edwards. D.D. (Cardiff) thought that before committing themselves they should ascertain the views of the Nonconformists of Wales. He was not, however, opposed to the suggested conference. Rev. David Davies (Penarth) supported the sending of a sympathetic reply, emphasising that the proposal WAS for giving Biblical teaching in the schools. Much discussion followed, most of the speeches being sympathetic. The SPEAKER* included Mrs Herbert Lewis, Aid. the Rev. D. H. Williams (Barry), who pointed out that in any action taken tihey must carry the Education Committees with them, Rev. Rees Evans (Llanwrtyd), who said that in parts of Breconshire such a syllabus was adopted hy common consent years ago and had al- ways worked, satisfactorily, Rev. T. Hughes (Port Jjinorwic), Rev. Gwynfryn Jones (Flint). Prof. Joseph Jones (Brecon), Mr J. E. Powell (Wrexham). Rev. H. M. Hughes (Cardiff), Itt V. O. L. Roberts (Liverpool), Rev. Idris Davies (Hay), Aid. Richard Jones (Caersws), Rev. Pennar Griffiths (Swansea) and others. Rev. Gwilym Davies (Abergavenny) reported that the Social Subjects' Committee had considered the matter, and were prepared with a report. Eventually it »a<< agreed to support the principle of a joint conference, and to suggest that it should consist of 10 representatives from the Executive and 10 from the Church of England, and that the Rev. Ellis Jones should aliio be invited to attend. The following were elected as representatives of the Free Churches:—The President and Secretary, Principal Edwards, Aid. Rev. D. H. Williams, Rev. H. M. Hughes, Rev. T. Hughes, -Rev. Gwynfryn Jones, Air J. E. Powell, Aid. R. Jones and Mr Wm. George. Pr.-pos,d Visit to Western Front. The secretary reported that it. was probable that- the executive would shortly BSIASKED to appoint a deputa- tion to pay a visit to the Western Front. It was un- animously agreed to accept the invitation should the War Oltice send it. The secretary also reported that there was a large number of Welsh women and men engaged at the munition works at Herdord, and that there was no Welsh Church in the city or in ib vicinity. There was need for spiritual and moral hdp to be given. Mrs Herbert Lewis offered to pay the salary for six months of a suitable woman if such could be found This offer was gratefully accepted, and the further suggestion was made that some Welsh Churches should liberate their ministers for short periods in order that they may give assistance. Temperance Policy. Rev. Ungced Thomas (Carmarthen) wovul that tin- executive should rescind the temperance resolutions passed la.st September, and this was seconded hy the Rev. 1). Davie- (Penarth), who maintained that the policy was adopted without an opportunity for discus- sion. Exception WAS particularly taken to the proposal' that compensation shall be paid for suppressed licences out of State funds. The motion was defeated by 16 votes to 8. Rev. I'ngocd Thomas then moved that the council should protest against. State Purchase. It was pointed out that a previous resolution gave expression to this view, but on the other side it was argued that the Llandrindod Wells resolution had disanulled the earlier one. To this the reply was given that .th-e Llandrindod Wells resolution only .supported State Purchase to close and not to carry on the trade. Prof. Joseph JONES (Brecon)- said the executive had never consider- ed the Premier's policy' of State. Purchase with local option. Eventually, the president advised that isome fresh notice should be given for the next meeting, and this cour., was agreed to. Soldiers' Temptations. Rev. Gwihm Davies, on In-half of the Social Subjects' Sub-Committee, moved a resolution expressing shame and indignation at the attitude of thp military in the matter brothels in France, and calling upon the Government to follow the example of America and to put all tolerated houses of debauchery out of hounds for British troop-. The resolution also expres<sed dis- approval cf the -attiteude of Mr Macpherson, M.F., and the thanks to Mr W. F. Roach, M.P.. for calling the attention of the House of Commons to this grave scandal. Rev. n. Davids (Penarth) seconded, and this WAS agreed to, and it was decided to forward copies of the i resolution to tlie Premier, the Earl of Derb, Mr Mac- pherson, M.P., and the Welsh M.P.s.

PILES CAN BE CURED WITHOUT AN OPERATION OR MONEY BASK FROM YOUR OWN CHEMIST. FROM YOUR OWN CHEMIST. Thousands of readers who suffer the acute agony and debilitating", efi'ec'.s of piles, haemorrhoids, pruritus, etc., will be greatly -interested to know t!iab these affiliations can now be cured without resorting to the knife and all its pain, danger, and uncertainty of permanent results. It was once stud by a prominent medical man that such opera- tions are often like pruning a tree. They s.op the growth in one place only to promote it in a dozen others. A weli-known London consulting chemist and expert in analytical work devoted most of his time for nearly a year il-o research and experiments with a view to perfecting a cure for eczema and other skin diseases. Not only did he discover a sooth- ing, antiseptic, and non-astringent cura.tive com- pound which was amazingly efficient in banishing skin affections by correcting their cause, but this compound, known as Nemolin, has now been found to possess remarkable curative powers when ap- plied to piles. Heretofore, pile treatments have consisted of powerful astringents, which gave only temporary results, since by shrinking the tissues and bltkxl vessels they merely increased the con- gestion. which is the prijiiary. cause of all piles. <Ac. iNeniol in has just the. )I)pooiiwb. t-fft,ct. It stimulates the local blood circulation, so all pain, itching, burning, and smarting stops, congestion i-s entirely dispersed, and -affected parts wlmost im- mediately return to perfectly normal ijnd healUiy condition. can be obtained of all chemists. NOTE.—An interesting treatise on the action of Nemolin in cases of chronic piles, etc.. written by che eminent chemist referred to in the above article, will be sent prepaid to anyone suiffciently interested to enclose a penny stamp for the re- turn postage.

Newbridge Savings. I
Newbridge Savings. I GOOD YEAR'S RECORD. I %c War Savings Assoeiaticif s first an- nual report makes interesting reading. The assoeia- j tion was formed in February, 1917, when Mrs Veriahles- Llewelyn, Sir Franeis Edward-, M.P., and Mr Da-.id .Jones (Couneil School, Llandrindod Wells) addre.-S*d a public meeting at the Reading Room on the question of war savings. The inauguration of the association was the outcome of that meeting. A STRONG representative committee was formed and a -campaign WAS planned and arranged. Xewbridge-en-WYE Association is the premier asso- ciation in the district, and, in fact, the countv. Quite recently, the total figure standing to the credit of the association was just- passed by the Glade^t-rey Associa- tion, but, as this association, embraced the £5 Bond ■system, the Newbridge Association still claim to be the premier association in the county for war savings certilicati-s and contributions. Since the inauguration of the association, two audits have taken place. The first wa.s conducted by Mr Daniel Meredith and Mr J. M. Smiles. Upon the departure of the former on ac- tive .service, the committee were fortunate in securing the .services of Mr Jan-en Griffith, manager of Lloyds Bank, Llandrindod Wells, to act as auditor, and the expert knowledge of finance, which he brought to bear on the work, proved yery helpful. Newbridge Association, which is divided into two parts namely, the junior and adult sections, com- menced operations on 3rd February, 1917, and, up-to- date, has raised £1,49ï 0s. Of this total. il.3,15 9s 6d stands to the credit of the adult nieml>ers, and £141 H, OD TO the juvenile members. The former have pur- chased 1,749 certificates, whilst the number purclia-sed by the latter is 183, making a total of 1.932 CERTIFICATES for a total contribution of 1-1,497 (Vs, which sum j" left. intact until the prescribed time of withdrawal repre-I sent, £ 2,000 apprasimate. The thanks of the committee and association are due to Air David Davies, C-artref (treasurer of the associa- tion) for so kindly allowing the committee meetings to be held at hí residence.

THE FARMERS' UNION.
THE FARMERS' UNION. THE POSITiON OF THC SMALL-HOLDER. -Nip, j. P. ("jirFj,rHs's To the Editor. Sir,—1 am at a loss to know what were the REASONS that, prompted Mr John Evans to write, a6 appeared in a recent issue of your paper, giving it as his opinion that "the writing above the door of the Farmers' Union (SHOULD be small-holder.? not- Ntry cordially invited here." Mr Evan? does, or should, know that the reverse is the CARE. That the Brecon and Radnor Farmers' Union I» prepared to meet small-holders of up to f25 rental by paying for tlivm Ilz of the 4 per head capitation fee required by the National Farmers' Union under the re- construction scheme, and, in the caM of holdings of from £ 26 to t60 rental, the local branch (including the counties' branch) will only benefit to the extent of 1/- per member. Can Mr Evans or anyone el-se have the temerity to contend that 3/- or 5,- is an excessive charge for the privilege of membership of the National Farmers' UrjioD? The large farmer pays Id in the k, which runs up to a considerable sum. The Trade l-nionbt pays 25/- to 30,- per annum to lus Union. Again, experience show" that the majority of cases which need legal assistance are those of small farm- ers. XaturaJly, the weak need protecting, and the Farmers' Union is out to protect its members and to look after their interest*. 1 contend, sir. that the Union i" appealing to farmers on terms that should prove irresistible.
