MARKETING HONEY

CONTROL DEFENDED.
AUCKLAND, November 14,
A strong defence of the present system of controlled marketing of New Zealand honey was made by Mr J. R. Rutland, a member of the Board, on his return to-day from England and Europe. Mr Butin nd said he had no bes’tation in saying that without the present control the New Zealand beekeepers would be in difficulties. Growers in other countries were compelled to take any price offering, but New Zealand honey was sold under a p-oprietary label/’its quality was consi tent, and the’’demand for it increasing continually. “We are in a stronger position'‘than any other country,” lie declared. “There are two countries making desperate efforts to follow’ our methods.” The fact that the honey all bore the New Zealand Gabel vrs a great advantage, and it was a pity moie of New Zealand’s primary products were not marketed similarly.
Mr Butland spent two months on the Continent investigating market prospects, and concluded that New Zealand should be able to find a market in Germany, Denmark, and Holland foi honey in bulk.
