WETHER MUTTON
CAN IT BE SOLD ? HILL FARMERS ANXIOUS r In the discussion that took place at last Executive meeting of the Auckland Farmers' Union on the latest policy announcement of the Government regarding the meat industry, Mr J. Soler entered a vigorous protest against the treatment meted out to farmers who are chiefly concerned in the production of wether mutton. 190,000 tons of shipping was allowed for, but the Minister would give no idea as to what was to be done with the balance. He retained the right to say what could lie killed. "We may have expectations," continued Mr Soler, "but we can't guarantee that a single wether will be killed." Mr Briscoe Moojre said he thought Mr Soler was unduly pessimistic over this matter. The Minister, he said, realised that liill country farmers had fared badly last season with their wethers, and he believed they would get sympathetic consideration this time. The matter was brought before the Executive of the Auckland Farmers' Union at its last meeting and a resolution was carried that the action of the Government could only be regarded as a distinct breach ot faith.
