THE BACON INDUSTRY.
TO THE KDITOB. Sir, The able letter by your correspondent in yesterday's paper dues nob quite grasp the situation. Ia the firht place the proposal to purchase the New Plymouth factory is quite on the lints of cooperation. Though a scheme on a larger scale might, in the future, be necessary, at the present time. I think it would be best to go slowly and not pledge ourselves to too large an enterprise. While the bacon factories bave •done well for the farmers, it does not follow that a sale for an unlimited quantity can be maintained, as, unlike but' er, I am told the demand is cot unlimited ; consequently if tha supply exceeds the demand, the price of bacon will be lower, and prop3rtionately the price of pigs, so that perhaps we should have to be satisfied with a lower figure. Now in taking over a factory that has name its made for quality, we should be comparatively safe, if we kept to the same cuie and staff", as there is always a demand for a good article ; but for one not eo good there may be a great difference iu t.be pries, or perbapa hardly any m irket at all.—l am, etc., Fabler.
