Pig Council Chairman Condemns Use Of MeatMeal As Fertiliser
The president of the Bay of Plenty -District Pig Council in his report to the annual meeting of the Council in Whakatane on Tuesday, pointed out the acute shortage of pig-meal and other subsidary winter pig foods. He alleged that merchants were in the habit of selling the pig food to farmers as fertiliser and he thought, in the light of the acute world food situation, that some authoritive move should be made to stop this waste that caused "many of the pig producers to reduce their stock over the winter through lack of feed. Another item to which he drew attention was the sad state of'the National Pig Industry Council’s finances, which, due to the decrease in pigs killed over the last few years, had been so seriously depleted that today the Council was almost an insolvent body which must at all costs be maintained. He also recounted the many progressive activities that the District Council had been responsible for inaugurating.
