PRICES FOR PRODUCE.
REDUCTION PREDICTED. Dairy ,'armers in various parts of New Zealand appear to think that prices for dairy produce will remain high for many years, and even go higher, hut Sir Walter Buchanan, M.L.C., of Masterton, does not think so. "Some people," Btates Sir Walter, "are optiihistic enough to think that high prices would rule for dairy produce over a period of years, i do not think bo. These people forget that in the Argentine alone there are some 50,000,000 head of cattle, which' ran be put to dairying as soon as the meat market recedes, or at least a large proportion of them. We will be 'small potatoes' indeed if the Argentine becomes a serious competitor. Brazil cannot be overlooked, either. I think that returned soldiers would be far better off if they kept their little nest-eggs in their pockets, went out to work, and waited till land values recede, which they most asuredly will do."
