One of the gravest features of the present position in New Zenland was an alarming falling off in production said Mr David Jones, a delegate to the Ottawa Conference, at a luncheon at Christchurch on Wednesday. Two years ago the production of butterfat averaged 2181bs per cow each year. That figure had now fallen to 1881bs. Six years ago the sheep flocks in New , Zealand had increased by 7,000,000. Last year the number

went back a million and this year the drop would be even greater, as killings up to the end of May, when the last Meat Board figures had been issued, totalled 1,800,000. “If a third of New Zealand were given to a company jr a number of individuals to farm, nobody could take it, even as a gift and that is a very serious istate of affairs,” Mr Jones declared.
