TWO SMALL MATTERS.
To the Editor. Sir, —Tto meeting to be held on the 2Sth inst. to discuss the butter-fat levy, doesn't it seem futile in the face of the Hon. McDonald's reply to a like meeting tlie other day, when lie remarked that dairy products commanded a higher figure than has ever been attained previously? Certainly he forgot to mention that it costs more to produce. When the levy was first imposed there were protests innumerable. It nvas also tested in the Courts, and all this means money, so why fire good after 'bad, and that this levy "has placed a plentiful supply aft a reasonable price of one of the most necessary articles within the reach of everybody there isn't the shadow of a doubt. Why not call a meeting to consider the acquiring of ships to carry our produce? Also why the price paid for pigs is from 2d to 3d per I'D less in Taranaki tha'ti in other centres of New Zealand? There would be more money Stained to Taranaki farmers If these two small maters were adjusted before the removal of the butter-fat levy.—[ am, etc., RENOWN. OpunaUe, March 23.
