GUARANTEED PRICES.
BURDEN ON INDUSTRY FEARED. (Per Press Association.) DANNEVTRKE, February 18. The Southern Hawke’s Bay provincial executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union passed, a motion that it was emphatically opposed to the principle of guaranteed prices and, considering the guaranteed prices lor the dairy industry, strongly protested against a fixed price for wool and meat being brought into effect. The president (Mr J. Livingston), said the *['ect of fixed prices was only taking the credit of an important industry for creating liabilites lor the country. This would become a serious burden on the industry in the future. No matter prices were fixed for wool and meat the farmers would have to pay in the end.
