The Government has apparently como to the conclusion that its efforts to foster the poultry indued try have not produced satisfactory results. The poultry depot at Auckland (.the Dannevirke Advocate ■points out) has be'en closed, tlioso at Wellington and Dunedin were closed a considerable time ago, so that the only depot now open is at Chxistchurch, where a large breeder of ducks enables it 'to be carried on. It is stated that the reason for the closing of the Auckland depot was that a large company decidled not KJo allow its grading to bo done there •any longer. The depot is now being conducted by Mr E. H. Chamberlain, of Ponui Island, a large poultry farmer, whose principal abject ia to keep the market open for fcho benefit of farmers. Mr Chamberlain is endeavouring to open up a market in the Islands for New Zealand poultry.
