COW-TESTING CHARGES.
PLEA FOR A REDUCTION. MINISTER NOT MOVED. (By Wire.—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Oct, 7. . During the discussion on the Estimates in the House of Representatives several members protested strongly against the high charges made by the Agricultural Department for cow-test-ing. The Minister, in the course of his reply, suggested that farmers were putting an unfair burden on the Government. Mr. 6. G. Smith (Taranaki) strongly deprecated the suggestion that farmers were asking the State to bear the whole cost of cow-testing. The dairy farmers of Taranaki, he said, certainly were not asking for that. Farmers and dairy associations had done their very best to improve the dairy herds and he thought the Minister was taking an unreasonable attitude in refusing to reduce the charges.
