MARKETING PRODUCTS.

ADDRESS BY SIR T. MACKENZIE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dannevirke, Jan. 7. In an address under the auspices of the Southern Hawke’s Bay Farmers’ Union on the marketing of primary products at Home, Sir Thomas Mackenzie mentioned the proposed meat pool. lie had declined an invitation to attend a farmers’ meeting earlier in the day to consider the pool proposals, and in his address explained that as this was a matter which closely concerned the producers it would have been inadvisable for him to be present. Mr. Massey should have a fair field to develop his scheme. Replying to a question, he said that personally he would prefer the Dominion establishing its own market, but they would be up against stiff opposition. which would entail enormous expenditure. To run meat shops successfully they would require to get control of a considerable quantity of chilled beef and the Argentine would beat them in this connection. He was not trying to throw cold water on the producers’ scheme. He was not antagonistic, but merely wanted to explain the position.
