THE STOCK EMBARGO

British Farmers Urge Its Removal N.Z. FARMERS' TOUR As supervisor of his piggery, Lord Bladisloe has recently engaged the services of a Danish pig farmer and soo'n he expects to have 2000 pigs on his Lyoney Park estate, according to reports of a rtcont visit there by a large party of New Zealand, Australian and South Afriton farmers. The tour was under taken partly to give the farmers an opportunity of obtain--ing useful knowledge of farming ways on the oCntinent aud in Denmark and Great Britain, and also to allow them to study market methods of production in these countries. It was found while in Great Britain that increasing interest was being taken there in such visitfj" and everywhere they went the Dominion, farmers had hospitality lavished upon them. Included in the itinerary were many visits to Jersey herds and also to pastoral shows, and on a number of occasions representatives of the party expressed the farmers' diaappointment that embargo restrictions in New Zealand made it impossible for them to purchase some of the stock they had seen for importation into the Dominion. However, both the leader and deputy-leader, Mr. C. G. B. Dermer, of Palmerston North, and Mr. A. M. Carpenter, of North Canterbury, said they were hopeful that their investigations in Great Britain would enable them to lift the embargo within a fairly short time.
