THE PIG INDUSTRY
“Progressive Farmer” writes to the Christchurch Press as (OIIOWS: At the present time there is much. talk of guaranteed prices to the producer. As one interested in farm~ ing pursuits I consider the time is opportune for the many farmers inLerested in pig raising to get busy and see if something cannot be done immediately to place the industry on a better footing by seeking out new markets.
A recent visitor from Australia. informed me that Australia had worked up, a splendid export. trade. Hams and sides of bacon were being shipped to the East in large quantities. \Ve are exporting pork to Australia Why not make a bid for the Eastern markets by direct shipment? Lord Bledisloe recently pointed out that New Zealand had to depend On the Motherland for a market for 75 per cent. of her pro~ ducts. Fortunately for Australia and South Africa their countries were much better placed. There is not the cat-operation amongst those interested in the pork industry as is the case in other branches of ipr'imery production. Cannot something be done to work up an industry well worth while and advance Canterbury by nlaeing it on the map as an exporter of pork?
