I MR BRYNER JONES AND THE JFUTI RB OF FARMING. I ADDRESS TO BANGOR 'VARSITY (STUDENTS. t'nder the auspices of the Agricultural and Forestry .Society..it the University College of North Wales, Mr Brjuer Jones, head of the Department for Wales of the Board of Ag- riculture, delivered an address at the College on Tuesday. Mr Eiits Joiies, one of the students, who presided, stated that the Society responsible for the lecture had been allowed to lapse dur- ing the war, but witlh the iir.o accession into the ranks of the students in the forestry and agricultural depart merits—most of them ex-terviee men—"the Society had been revived with great enthusiasm. It would form a link between present and past students. Mr Bryner Jones' address 'look the form of a historical presentation of the growth of agriculture in this country from the 15th century and emphasised the part played by Lord Towmhend in improving agricultur- al methods. In Wales similar good work, he said,, was done by Sir Roger Mostyn, the Mey- riclis, of Anglesey, the ancestors of Sir R. II Williams Hulkeley of Baron llill, Robert Vaughan of Nannau. and the JOhll13 of Cardi- ganshire. Dealing with more modern iimes Mr Bryner Jones referred to the use of the plough, which, he said, was rather a thorny quest ion, but in the farming of the future, even in a pastoral country like Wales, the plough must, have more to do than it had in pre-war days. Have grazing land by all means, but they must plough to get even that. Wales was mainly a grass country in 1870, but there was much more arable land then than was to be found at present.. lie was aware there was more uve stock now. Whether the area broken up in 1916 was go- ing to be maintained was a matter on which he could express no opinion, but they ron"t get more arable land and aloo mere-ate their live stock. It had been said that the farmer in future must have three aims: (I) nroduction, (2) more production. (3) and still more pro- duction. It seemed to him that if the farm- er wa^ going to increase his production ho must, even in Wales have the plough in fairly regular use. There must be,iio room in the future for the bad farmer; he was an enemy to the community. Agricultural production was largely a matter of education, and that was why he was optimistic regarding Wales. On the economic side of agriculture the re- versal of t.he policy which commended itself to the farmers of the 18th century, was one of Hie most interesting developments of the time. W-hilc he believed there was now room even in Wales for large farms and for the policy of consolidation which prevailed In' the. 18th century, he thought that the creation of small holdings and of land settlements was ffoing to briug with it a measure of prosperity to British agricuWure. l'rofossor White, Bangor, referred to the part taken in the past by landowners in the improvement of agriculture. Many improve- ments were really initiated by the enterprise and public spirit of landowners, aiul one of the regrettable features of the present time, so far as agriculture was concerned, was that so few of the landowning community appeared to be disposed to assist in solving problems which confronted their agricultural tenants. He wished to emphasise the fact that the ell- terprising farmer could play a large part in educating his neighbours who followed his methods. There was no more rapid method of improving agriculture than by gettin<>- an enthusiastic number of men, equipped with the latest methods to go farming in the diff- erent districts. u OPl'OSKD TO SMALL HOLDINGS I Mr Tlloma Roberts, J.11., declared that he • did not agree with small holdings. He knew' something about small holdings and large fartils. It would be difficult to make tmall l1 ioktings pay. Ile tlio,,e "Itticleilt'-i 10 were going to take up farms to marry I joung women who knell something about tanning (hear, hear). 11 innpal Sir Harry Reichel, proi>osing a vote 0! thanks to the lecturer, rec-a/Jed the fact that he \\a- once an assistant lecturer in the Agricultural Department ol that Colle'ge being afterwards promoted to the chair ot agriculture at Aberystwyth.

FARM NOTES. I Very changeable weather ha,s prevailed throughout the week, rain falling :Yjrne part of 4Lacl, day, and snow still covers the hig-herniost- mountain peaks. A remarkable characteristic of t.iia present aldulIln a,n winter h -s been tho unusual fluetuat-ioin in the temperature in a very short- ot time. 't'ho conditions are very unsettled, and the procpeets of flrte, .settled weather are not very promising. This week the Women's Land Army will b dishande-d. Mueh is known of the splendid work that women have done on the land, but little has been said of the part they have taken 111 using the motor tractors. In the face of many difficulties and in face of a frank lack of confidence among their employers, the woman tra-ctor dri vers "carried on" and" made good. Four hundred a-tid fifteen women were selected to receive training, and of these 400 were actually employed. The best teaching was done in the train- ing centres, where an opportunity was a .Ot'L'ed of studying th.* t.r;.ctor mecV-anism, but it was neee.-vsary for some of the women to be taught in the lield. The opinions of the Agricultural Executive Committees and of the tractor representatives through- out the country have been collected, and they constitute a record of which tho women motor-tractor drivers have every reason to feel very proud. Some forty Distinguished Service Bars have been awarded to the women of the Land Army. Among the recipients was B. Lewis \Fli.nt«hirei, who had previous- ly gained the tractor ploughing prize for North Wales. The award was made to her for stopping a runaway horse. The Agriculture (Councils) Bill, which has now passed the committee stage in the House of Commons, may be regarded as the first fruits of the reorganisation of agriculture. Its main objects are the (•reaction of Central Advisory Committees for the Board of Agriculture, and local administrative committees for agriculture in the counties. Women's Institutes are doing much in this country to increase the simple plea- suras of eouiitry life, and to stimulate production of the lesser agricultural and horticultural products. The movement was started in Ontario, Canada, and in 1913 the Secretary to the Canadian Ad- visory Board of Women's Institutes in British C'olumbia. came ovor to this country to interest public bodies in the movement. It is interesting to note that tho first Woanen's Institute established in this country was started in September, 1915, at Llanfair P.G.. Anglesey, under the auspices of the Agricultural Organisation Society. A Shirebrook farmeti was fined C150 at Chesterfield on Saturday for soiling milk whioh on analysis proved to be noarly half water. The total puroha.ses up to date for land settlement schemes in Montgomeryshire amount to 4546 acres, the total purchase price boing £ 136,935. One of the latest and most important purchases has been that of the Park Farm, Caersws, extending to 786 acres, which has been acquired for £ 16.500. At a sale last week, by Messrs Frank Lloyd and Sons, of a portion of Lord Trevor's BrynkioaJJt Estate, an accom- modation field, realised ilem-ly CI70 an acre. A farm of 102 acres was sold for 95650. The inoreased ra.tes for fat cattle and sheep, which oame into operation on Mon- day, the 17th in3t., caused larger supplies of each to be offered at moat mark ets, last week, while the quality generally showed an improvement, a few sta.LI-fed beaats being shown at- some plaoeas. The increase in the rates amounts to Is per live cwt. for cattle, and id per lb. dead weight in the oase of sheep. Supplies of pig-s snowed a decided decline, the total number at all markets being 3105, againyt 4101 the pre- vious week. Oalveis for slaughter are re- parted as rather cheaper at some markets, perhaps due to the heavier supplies of other meat. The severe wintry weather of the past week put a further check on the trade for store cattle, and sale,, have been more diHioult to effect, fears of a shortaee of winter keep being pretty generally enter- tained. Large numbers of pigs in good f orward oondition are being offered in the store markets and these command a ready sale at high prices. DeaLng with the question of the future meat supply, the agricultural correspondent of the Times says that at all costs exces- sive depletion ot breeding herds and flocks should be prevented, but the difficulty 101 to do it. Compulsory measures, he say, tha.t are economically unsound wil! not avail, if there is to be State or local in- terference, the owners of the stock will have to be guaranteed against loss. The Government are not liko- ly to attempt extreme measures, however, since they know that none is so competent as the farmer to make the most of his possibilities. The onJy danger is that the over-conlident amateur or theorist should, with the aid A uninformed popular opinion, force the supersession of the trained husbandman. It this should happen there would pro- bably be cheaper supplies for a few months, but at tne expense of the future stability of productive resources. At the National Poultry Parliament held in Birmingham on Saturday, a scheme for a national poultry poucy was approved, and it was decided to ask t-he President of the Board of Agriculture to receive a deputation to press the claims of the 111- dustry for support and recognition. Mr William Holland, of Rhyd, Brough- ton, Wrexham, the tvell-known breeder of British Friesian cattle, has just sold one of his herd, a sixteen-monthjs-old bull, to Captain J'Armay; of liulkeley Hall, Che- «tiire> for MM guineas.

Aa a dual purpose bi-oed tor milk and beet the qua.utievi of W elsn blac.\ cattle ,have timz-, and aga.in been established oy championship honours at tiiu London Dairy Show and the bmittilield Club Snow. Why, then, should record prices for the I arced be coiilmed* to modest hundieds, lll stead of ranging into thousand; as with otner breeds ? 1 ho leeway due to neglect oi (systematic breeding m'thc. past must- be mc.de good; secondly, more influential patrons of the breo.t nui-f be procured; and thiruly. an export trade to those coun- tries, suoh il-ll the Argentine and Soutri Africa, who now set ttie juice in pricey for the lxwt strains to propagate t.ic cattle population of their undeveloped arei>s, mu-st of necoi-city be established. Already i/ie Welsh breed has proved its suitability for the Argentine, it only needs popularising. The King's manifestation of interest in the Welsh brc-ed may be taken not- only as a compliment to Wales but in parlicu- lar to the Welsh lll-aek C^attlo Society, which has just appointed a new se-cre,td_ry in Mr Parker McKenzie. of Bangor, and prepared the ground for active propaganda work.

MAXIMUM PRICES FOR PIGS. Tho Food Controller lias issued the Pigs Maximum (Prices) Order, 1919, prescribing new maximum price- for pigs, ami makill certain amendments in the present regulation affecting the sale of pigs. The new maximum prices are as follows :For lire pi¡s sold other- wise than bv dead weight, 23; per score of the live weight; and for live pigs sold by dead weight and dead pigs, 30s 6:1 per score of the dead weight, if th' o.tal.s >ire iiiciuuisl in the sale. and if theoffals arc nOI, inciudrd, 29s 5d 1XT score of the dead weight. Tho amount actually paid or payable for carriage may be added to tti;, iiiaxittitiin price, but no other charge, may be mad- for delivery. These prices are slightly higher than those in the Order revoked la-st December TIip, maximum prices ■••■'nly to all pigs, whether sold as stores or for slaughter, except pigs bought and sold specifically fof breeding pur- poses, and (hose weisrhing at the time of sale 1" than 1121b. live weight.

RHYL v. CONWAY. (Welsh Senior Club.) On Saturday, great excitement prevailed at Rhyl when the re-played tie with Cbn- way in the Welsh Senior Cup took place. The weather was line, and a crowded at- tendance witnessed the match. On the previous Saturday, at Uonwav. the teanas had drawn 0110 each, and it was evident from the team Rhyl had decided to put on that they meant to make every eftort to be victors, and the result shows that the club has one of-tho strongest teams on the coa-st. The visitors, it appears, had made a change in their team, W. T. Evans stibst-ittitilig G. Hughes centre half. h c,? ii.; The referee was Mr Williams, of Bangor, and the teams were as follows: — Rhyl: Rieke-tts; A M. Williams and F. Williams; W. Williams, Lovibond, Jack Hughes; Ashcroft, R. Jones, ftoriiim: Pritohard, H. Roberts, and J. T. Hughes. Conway: S'talla.rd W. Evans and Clem. Arnold; W. J. Ellis, W. T. Evans, and J. Jones; T. Craven, T. Jones, L. L. Jones, Brookes-Evans, and J. Hughes. Rhyl opened the game, and at once took up the pressure, but the visitors quickly transferred tho play to the centre, the backs putting in fine work. The home forwards at once put in some dash, and were dangerous for a time, but a free kick gave the v it chance, but it was a biicf respite, and the home forwards went off with determination, and Jack Hughes quickly found the net, Stallard having no ohance against him. After this there was eve:, play for a time, and then a free kick gave the Rhyl boys their chaucc, but touch kicking from the visitors relieved thorn. Howell Roberts, however, hit the cross- bar with a stinging 6-hot. and the visitors' backs getting possesion tr<ui.sferred the play to tho centre. An exciting interval followed, and during this the referee had oeoar-ion to speak to Norman Pritohard, who, a few minutes previously, had been badly winded. Rhyl then seemed a free kirk, anu this was followed by two penal- ties for Conway and one for RhyJ, but nothing came of thvin. Rhy! eventually pressed, and Pritchard, obtaining posses- sion, ma.de 110 mi.-i.artwo with his shot. Alter this there was a lull in the play, which was more in mid-field. When Rhyl did again penetrate the visitors' quai-ters they press- ed heavily, but Arnold, with a lino kick, transferred the play, and Ricketts wa.1 called upell to save. A penalty kick Crave- Rhyl a cluuice of getting away, and end to end play resu, Afkr this Rhyt had the game in their own hands, and it was only the fine defence that Conway at times put ill that the score was not higher. home forwards put in some line 00111bmattOn, v,hen Pritchard found the not, and gave Rhyi its third goal. Half-time: Rhyl, 3; Conway, 0. When play was resumed PJiyl went off wit,il vigour, and Lovibond put in a nice shot, but it went a few inches wide, and Stallard turned it over the bar. The visitors succeeded in transferring the plav to the home end, and this was one of the few visits they paid in the second hs-lf. A free kick gave Rhyl SOlUQ relief, and thon t-ioy wo:it sUvT;in to til" other end of the field, and Jack Hughes scored tho fourth for Ilhyl. Th&re was a little even plaj after this, unti! from some fine pass- ing between L. Hughos and Ashcroft. the lattc scored. From this stage to the end of tho game Conway seemed to have last heart Norman Pritchard played a fine game, and he just- missed another goal when he headed a few inches wide. Howell Roberts, however, mad e amends, and get- ting the ball near touch oleveriy worked the ball into the net. Then Morley Wil- liams, from a centre, passed to n. Jones, w h o to? who took no chances, and added the 7th goal. Conway was hard pressed again aud a.gaiii. R. J, iie, I)Ll' tile 'ball, in iiioi- but it was disallowed for "offside." W. Williams followed with like luck, and the visitors can consider themselves fortunate that they were able to close the game with seven goals ajgamst them. fl.liere is -no doubt that Conway were Outplayed by a superior team, and the surprise to the speotatørs was that tliere was a ùraw when the teams llwt a w-ek previously. No doubt Rhyl -was at the top of its form, and if aollle of the team continue to play as they did on Saturday they will be required by more important clubs. As regards the individual players Nor- man Pritchard stood out above the others, while R. Jones also showed up splendid- ly. These men played more classical foot- ball..Of the Call way men Arnold was about the best, although Craven did very well at times, an( has the making of a $tood player. Stallard had a very rough time, and he also had hard iuck. He did his best to defeat the attacks of Pritohard and Hughes, but they proved too much for him.

BANGOR R.I. v. CIOLWYN BAY. I (Welsh Amateur Cup: First Round.' I (By" Itoüoroer. ") I Colwyn Bay were the visitors at Ban- gor. on Saturday, in the first round of the Welsh Amateur tups. their opponents being the Rilway Institute. It was the tirst time either team had played on the ground, which Ls situate on rather a.n ex- posed position. The teams, controlled by Mr Tom Jones, Llandudno Junction, turned out as follows:- Railway Institute: O'Donald; Pierce and D. J. Thomas; H. Edwards, Johnson, and paullield; \V. Alherton, J. Jones, D. P. Hughes, W. F. Brown, and Furber. Colwyn Bay: R. Jones, Ben Morris and 1 erl -'Pa,rry Tucker, Morris, and Hart; Lunt, Francis, Edwards, Llew. Jones, and Stanley Hughes. The game opened in a free and easy fashion, tho Bay doing ihost of the press- ing. Stanley Hughes soon came into the picture with a long drive, and other mem- bers of the forward line followed his ex- ample with these pot sh ots, which were tho best method of attack as the Blues" were jklaying down the hill. Bangor, how- ever, scored first. Hughes and John ran the bail up, and the former .^wished it into the net- at express speed. In less than a minute the Bay had equalised per Francis, who tried his luck with a long drive, which went over O'Donald's shoulder into the net, 1-1. Bangor pressed, but they had' to face a couple of hefty backs in Ben. Morns and Ted Parry. D. P. Hughes wended his way towards the Bay goal, when Tue -er li m Later the Bay goalkeeper saved on the ground from Hughie Edwards. Bangor had hard lines from a corner. So far there was not muoh between the teams. From a free kick Atherton compelled the Bay goalkeeper to drop on his knees, and he cleared in the nick of time. A penalty was given against Ben. Morris. Thai sharpshooter, H. Edwards, was entrusted with the shot, but the custodian brought y. OFF A FINE SAVE. I ? I Hi rect.lv afterwards the Bay le-ft wing went down the field at top ope.d, and the ba-11 wa-, to t h ball was crossed to the right, when Francis senlt it into the net. with the side of his foot, 2-1. Hardly had the excitement subsided before- the Railwaymen were buzzing before the Bay goal. J. Jones tried a speculator, which dropped over the custodian s outspread arms into the net- a lovely goal, 2-2. The Railwaymen pressed for all they were worth, and tho Bay custodian performed wonderful deeds. Shots were rained 011 him, but he got the ball away in fine style. The marksman ship of the Institute forwards was remark- ably acourat, Uti(-xi"t(Aly, tjie Colwvn Bay forwards gb-t away, and Francis per- formed the hat trick, 3—2. Half-time: Colwyn Bay, 3 Railway Institute, 2. The Institute scored directly the game resumed, D. P. Hughes almost running tho ba.1! into the net, 3--3. With the ;),(1, vantage of the slope and wind the Railway- men were making things hum. but they had to contend with a line pair of backs, Ben. Morris bping on his best behaviour. Hughie Edwards almost scored with a back kick. There was a continuous pressure on the Bay goal, and the home forwards did everything but score. J. Jones gave Ban- gor the load. but most of the credit be- longs to Atherton, who placed a corner with unerring accuracy. 4-3. Brown, from a pass by Furber, just missed, and Johnson did exactly the same thing direct- I ly afterwards. Then Hughie Edwards, from long range, made the Bay goalkeep- er's hand tingle. Even the home specta- tors 1 CHEERED THE BAY GOALKEEPER tor tus magnificent saves. For the tirst time in the second half the Bay pressed. l a triüo the ball was at the other end, and although closely shadowed, Furber crossed the ball to Atherton, who crashed in a terrific -hot, the ball glancing into the net off the custodian's han ds, 5--3. Brown registered the Institute's sixth goal and Atherton No. 7 (the goalkeeper never saw the baU untii he picked it up from theNnet). Finial: Railway Institute, 7; Colwyn Bay, 3. I NOTES. A defeat of 7-3 looks rather substantial, hut the Bay have no need to be ashamed ot their second visit to Bangor. On the first occasion the Comrades ran up a double ilguro score against them, but it was a different Bay team which played on Saturday. They put up a good fight, e>si>ecially the defence, and were beaten by an exceedingly nippy team. :t: It was an exhilarating game, plenty of <. pep about it, and at half time it would havl' bwn a rash prophet who would have predicted a win for the Institute. The game had been faii-lv even un to then but in the second half the Railwaymen were simply peppering away at the Bay goal, where it. Jones was in fine fettle. He saved shot after hot. and those that passed him would have beaten the majority of goalkeejK'rs. The two full backs were also in grand form, but they could not keep off the nippy Institute forwards, all of whom had their shooting boots on last Saturday. They crashed the ball in at every opportunity at lightning speed. « The Institute custodian has been blamed for allowing those three shots to pass him, but if they were not particularly swift, they were tricky. D. J. Thomas was som", time gettill,g into his stride, but the rest of the team were on top form. Ather- ton's goal in the second half was one of the 40 h.p. deserij*tion, but perhaps the feature of the work of the forward line was the way Furber screwed in shots from the touch I tie. Tho ball did not land in the Bay goal, but right on the tocis of one of the inside men, who, in a trice, had it in the net. L L,i N 1 it I., I A N v. BANGOR J COMRADES RES.

[ FOOTBALL^ NOTES. Differences in form week by week are diffi- cult to account for. They are, ill tact, un- accountable, as witness on Saturday in the first division of the lingli.-h League, Sheffield Wednesday, who have been at the bottom of the table, defeating West Bromvvich Albion, one of the be?t sides in the country. Thero were a number gf others almost equally in- explicable, noilably w, Burnley, where t hot hitherto moderate Bradford tjim scored a ruuaway win by six goals to two, and at Exeter, where Northampton caused a shock by winning 4-2. » ft 41 In the sccond division of the English League Tottenham Hotspur's failure to beat the For- est at ?vo(tinghain was a little surprising, particularly in view of the fact that- tne Mid- landers were a man short tor a considerable part. uf thc ,.eCOlld half.IIC of the most notable results 111 thIs dl\lIOIl was that at Birmingham, where the home team dropped a valuable pomi iu their match wilh Rother- hain » After th?

If the field had been anything like level and of proper dimensions the score would have been a shock to them, too. I The-ro was no scope for the win.g for- wards, but the inside men, and particular- ly the Gele centre forward, did very good work, and the defence did their utmost to protect their goalkeeper. < < Undoubtedly, on present form Abergele promise to be a rare proposition to tackle. » < Abergele will field the foliowing players for their League encounter with Bangor Comrades on Saturday: W.

"1 bought som" more, and obtained so much benefit: from them to at I decided never to be without them in the house. I can always recommend them most strongly to any person suffering froni backache or kidney trouble as I (ii(i." They "cure to stay cured" is a truth proved by the fact that Mn; Mellish wrote in July, 1919: "1 am still keeping in I'xce.llent health, and have done so ever since I tarted De %N'Itt',j Pills. Mrs Mellish's experience is no uncom- mon erne, for thousands of sufferers in all parts of the World have been cured by these wonderful little pills. Another !-adv (Mrs Pinkins, of 8, Con- vent-garden-s. Nottmg IIill) wrote m Sep- tember, 1913: — "For about twelve years I was a uf- ferer with weak kidneys and backache. At times the pains were terrible, and al- though I tripd every remedy 1 knew arid heard of. I could find nothing that would do me any permanent good.
