Auckland, July 17. A movement was recently set on foot in the King Country for the establishment of freezing works at Te Kuiti, and the committee is now securing the co-operation of the settlers in° the scheme, and obtaining information as to the quantity of fat stock that is likely to be available during the coming season and in subsequent years. The movement is generally well supported by the settlers, who have suffered in the past by having to send their stock long distances for sale, and then to accept unsatisfactory prices in many instances. In addition to its object of starting freezing works in the King Country, the committee is hoping to arrange for regular paddock sales. It is calculated that 200,000 fat sheep or their equivalent in cattle will be needed each season to keep the works going.
