THE MEAT COMMANDEER.
SOUTH ISLAND WANTS EXTENSION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. At the annual conference of the Otago Fanners' Union, Mr. James Begg gave a resume of the conference held in Wellington last week on the subject of ths meat commandeer, at which he was a delegate. The President of the Union (Mr. John Christie) suggested that the Home GO7ernment might be asked to extend the commandeer for at leant one month as far as the South Island was concerned, because the South Island went through | climatic differences a month or two later than the North.
Messrs. Begg and 0. S. Orbell expressed the opinion that the Home Government's decision not to extend the commandeer was absolutely final. After further discussion a resolution was passed that the Minister of Agriculture be asked to cable an appeal to the Home Government requesting an extension to the comfmandcer by one month, and that the Home Government be asked to pay the cost of the storage of meat at Home till the producers had an opportune | ity of placing their meat upon the market.
