THE MEAT BOARD

APPBECIATIOX OF ITS WORK

(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 4th October. "If the New Zealand Meat Producers' Board, which has just furnished the world with its seventh annual report (says the "Imperial Food Journal") had done nothing else in its virile youth than convince consumers in the Northern Hemisphere that the regulation of meat shipments was a benefit to rather than a manoeuvre against tho importing markets, then its existence for that reason alone might be well justified. The board has amply fulfilled this object, among many others, and it reports that the trade tully appreciates its efforts to keep a steady flow of meat going forward to tho British market over tho twelve months of the year. "The numerous other objects pursued by the New Zealand Board includes several valuable activities for tho purpose of improving the quality and condition of its meat, which already holds, without serious challenge, premier rank throughout the markets of this country. Tho board's scheme for enabling meat retailers everywhere to push the sales of New Zealand meat by means of attractive notices and leaflet distribution has been vigorously operated with much commendable initiative by Mr. R. S. Forsyth, its popular representative in Great Britain. The scientific research which the board is stimulating for the purpose of perfecting the handling and refrigeration of its exports is a feature which will commend itself to every lover of progress." . .. ■*....
