DAIRY PRDOUCE.

CONTROL OF EXPORT PLAN. EXTENSION OF THE MEAT ACT. CONFERENCE TO BE CALLED. By Telegraph.—'Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The executive committee set up by the North and South Inland Dairy Association to-day waited on the Premier and the Minister of Agriculture, supported by twenty members of Parliament. Messns. A. Morton, Goodfellow and Buckingham, speaking on behalf of the deputation, said an effort was made last year to obtain control of the export trade of the Dominion’s dairy produce for the benefit of the producers, but the scheme then suggested did not eventuate. It had now been agreed by the executive that an extension of the provisions of th Meat Export Control Act of last year, to include dairy produce, would sufficiently put the control of the export 'trade in the hands of the producers to better the position of the dairy farmer. A conference is being called at Wellington within a fortnight, when the proposal of the executive will be considered. If the conference approved the proposal a request would be made for a Bill this session. Mr. Massey agreed that co-operation was necessary and approved the action taken by the executive in calling a conference and obtaining an expression of approval to the proposal before approaching Parliament.
