FARMERS' FREEZING WORKS.

[To The Editor Stratford Post.] Sir,—While reading your valuable paper of Tuesday, March ot\\, f not'red a Whangamomona farmer mikes reference to the Taranaki farmers owning their own freezing works. Well, I may say I was greatly disappointed, for last winter there was a great talk about getting a freezing works going for Stratford, and I also understand that they went so far as to look for a site, and then the whole thing fell flat, and nothing more was heard of it. Weil, Mr Editor, Ido think that the Taranaki farmers should club together as farmers have done elsewhere and erect their own works and be independent. -I am quite sure it would give stock-fattening in this district a great move, and there would be more stock fattened here than there is at present. I am like the Whangamomona farmer: I also have had stock fat and ready for the works for over a. month bat, under the present arrangements, we are simply ignored, while we see trainloads of fat stock coming from as far down the line as Palmerston, and unless we farmers club together and erect our own works we_j\'il]_.

always be Ui the same box.—l am, etc., ANOTHER FARMER. Huiroa, March 10, 1915.
