STABILISING THE PRICE OF BACON.
The Australian bacon industry continues in such a condition o£ chaos that producers are much concerned at the iutuve prospects. The situation has been discussed at many meetings of the co-opera-tive section in various districts. Numerous councils, boards, federations, associations, and committees have been set up, all aiming at doing something for the pig and bacon industry, and none of them is getting anywhere. Queensland competition has been pushing prices downward. Proposals such as the formation of a board to regulate interstate trade and fix prices have all reached the dead end that Queensland, as represented by the largest factory which distributes in Sydney, must have the latter market for its product —and without restrictions. The application of the Paterson principle to-bacon has been urged, but without unanimity so far. A higher tariff wall first is declared to be essential.
