SHORTAGE OF TRUCKS.
o KING COUNTRY AND WAIKATO DEPUTATION At a meeting of the Waikato A. and P. Association this week, the president was appointed to represent the association on a deputation representing King Country A. and P. Association and Te Kuiti Chamber of Commerce, to wait on the Minister for Railways with a view to obtaining additional facilities for the transport of stock on the railway, and improved sanitation of trucks. The difficulty of obtaining trucks for stock was emphasised by several members, who complained that inconvenience and loss were entailed through farmers having to wait weeks for trucks in order to forward 3tock to freezing works, "fats" in some cases being reduced to "stores" before they reached the killing pens. The manager of the Farmers' Auctioneering Company endorsed these remarks and said he believed trucks had been shipped to the other end of the Island to meet the demand there. It was impossible often to obtain trucks even I by giving three or four days' notice.
