THE FREEZING INDUSTRY.
ACTIVITY IN SOUTHLAND. Southland freezing works still continue to handle large quantities of stock, and the indications are that they will be kept busy well into July, says the Otago Daily Times. The Coptic and Huntingdon have relieved the pressure on the freezing capacity of the Southland works by taking large consignments of carcasses from Bluff. The large quantities handled by the Southland works this season on account of the fact that Canterbury offers have not been so attractive has resulted in the capacity of the works being severely- tested. Some criticism has been levelled against the Meat Board on account of restrictions in shipping space, but freezing shipping space has keen very difficult to secure owing to the fact that decreased imports have affected the number of vessel *s trading to the Dominion. Again, in ordinary space, the local companies could not anticipate to what extent increased killings would affect them. It would, therefore, seem that criticism of the board is scarcely justified, as that organisation has made every endeavour to meet the extraordinary position as it has arisen.
