Export of Dairy Produce.

SCHEME FOR CONTROL. WELLINGTON, August 30. The Executive Committee set up by the North and South Island Dairy As. sociations to-day waited on the Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, supported by twenty members of Parliament. Messrs Norton, Goodfellcw, and Buckingham, speaking on behalf of tho deputation, said an effort was made last year to obtain control of the export trade of the Dominion’s dairy prod Ace for tile benefit of the producers, but the scheme then suggested did not eventuate. It lias now been agreed liy the executive that an extension of the provisions of the Meat Export Control Act of last year to include dairy produce would sufficiently put the control of the export trade in the hands of producers. To better the position of the dairy farmer a conference was being called at Wellington within u< fortnight, when the proposal of the executive would be considered. If the conference approved the proposal, a’ request would be made for a Bill this session.

Air Massey agreed that co-operation was necessary, and approved the action taken by the executive in calling a conference and obtaining an expression of approval to the prcpovil before approaching Parliament.
