LACK OF UNITY

DISORGANISATION IN DAIRY INDUSTRY OWING TO DUAL CONTROL CAMBRIDGE, Thursday. "It was fondly imagined that the hard times would drive the producing units in the dairying industry into one camp, but it is not so," remarked 1 Mr. F. H. Anderson, chairman of the Cambridge Dairy Company, at the anr nual meeting to-day. "The annual conference of the industry sat for three days this year, and while there was a good deal of constructive talk, after reviewing the actual questions settled there was nothing done of any relative importance to the industry. "I am satisfied," continued Mr. Anderson, "that in future nothing will be done while there is' dual control, the Dairy Produce Board and the Dairy Division, with the last word vested in political control. Whilst sections of the industry are able to go to the Minister of Agriculture to advance their own views or retard the views of others we can make' no forward progress, and when you consider that we have had three Ministers of Agriculture in the last year you will realise how hopeless is the position. "Personally, I eonsider that Jie Dairy Board levy is very necessai-y, and the board should be given larg ;r powers to carry out the administration of the industry and ensure unification."
