Speaking to a number of Canterbury farmers, Mr. J. B, Morrett said that all over the world poultry products were rising in prices. I'he export UaJe should be developed. British Columbia was asking for lialf-a million pounds' worth of eggs and poultry lor the table, and New Zealand should have a slice of this trade. From Sydney reports received on Friday, table chickens were, selling at 10s a pair by auction, geese 15s, turkeyt up to 60s. Mr. Merrett urged farmers to give poultry-raising for table their attention. There were plenty oi eggs in the country, and suburban and specialist breeders would help tc keep up the supply, but for table poultry it wav to the farmers they must look for supplies.
