Mr Samuel Hunt, one of the oldest pioneer
farmers of the district and a most successfuI
and practical agriculturist, who is retiring, was
tendered a banquet and testimonial at Merr-
gum during the week. Mr Hunt has been an
active member of the Tatura Agricultural Soc-
ciety for over 20 years. He has been elected
a life memeber, and is to be presented with
the society's, life member certificate, suitably
framed.

RAVAGES BY DOGS
Mr. R. Casey, the secretary of the North-
Eastern and Goulburn Valley Agricultural
and Pastoral Association, wrote, drawing the
attention of the society to the following
resolution that had been passed by them :
— "That the secretary be instructed to write
to the National Agricultural Society, suggest
ing the advisability of holding a meeting in
Melbourne to frame and submit to Parlia-
ment a dog act suitable to the requirements
of farming districts, and also to ask the
National Agricultural Society to write to kin-
dred societies requesting them to send delegates
to such meeting." He said that Mr. Samuel
Hunt, farmer, of Merriquin, had stated that
during the last two months he had eighty-
three sheep killed by vagrant dogs, and con-
sidered that he had lost the whole profit of
his flock for the year.
It was decided to bring the matter under
the notice of the Minister of Agriculture, and
ask him to have the Amended Dog Act passed
as soon as possible.
