DAIRY PRODUCE CONTROL.

IMPORTANT DEPUTATION TO * PARLIAMENT. Wellington, Last Night." The executive committee set up by the North and South Island Dairy Associations, to-day waited on the Premier and Minister of Agriculture, supported by twenty members' of Parliament. Messrs Morton, Goodfellow and Buckingham, speaking on behalf of the deputation, said an effort was made last' year to obtain control of the export trade of the Dominion’s dairy produce for the benefit of the producers, but the scheme then suggested did not eventuate. It had now been agreed by the executive that an extension of the provisions .of the Meat Export Control Act of last year, to include dairy produce, would sufficiently put control of the export trade in the hands of the producers, to better the position of the dairy fanner. A conference was being called at Wellington within a fortnight, when the proposal of the executive would be considered by the conference, and if it approved of the proposal, a request would be made for a bill this session.

Mi’ Massey agreed that co-opera-tion was necessary and approved of the action taken by the executive in calling a conference and obtaining an expression of approval to the proposal before approaching Parliament.
