Colonial Products.
By Telegraph—Press Association,
Dunedin, last night.
Mr Thomas Mackenzie addressed the representatives of the farming class in Lawrence Town Hall on Saturday night (Mr Bennett, the member for Tuapeka, presiding), on the evils which he had found connected with the handling of colonial produce on the London market. He also referred to tho prejudice which he had found to exist against the consumption of our frozen mutton, and described tho method he had adopted to break it down. He advocated several reforms, including a system of careful and reliable grading, that failing the insurance companies doing'their duty, the Government should establish a State Insurance Department in connection with the shipment of our produce, and provide in the policy that a certain man, who should be named in tho policy, should have the assessment, and that his decision should be final. Mr Mackenzie was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his address.
