DAIRY POOL.

DETAILS OF PROPOSAL. - —- - ■ ■^γ , '' APPROVED BY FAElfig^ fßy Telegraph— Special to 'Btar.fi WELLINGTON,.thi, a"./ The main outline of plans forth i I ' pool was communicated to the Farmers' Union Executive by Mr-Tw Hubbard. of Palmerston North U expressed strong opinion that if tB could come more directly into conte with consumers in Great Britain it would be much better for producers k» He thought it would be an advanW I a board in London and other parts m England should procure or erect co stores of sufficient capacity to hold BSV half our annual export output, \fnll were done we could take immediat« J vantage of any rise in price which afcu take place. At present a very $- proportion, probably as much as 90 fa cent, of our butter was used for blendkj He thought that the proposed boafaS set out in the hill required consider. able amendment, both in respect of ftj constitution and functions. He did not see that very great advantage would be gained by controlling export from tbi end. Under existing circumstances «• dealt folely with wholesale merchant* M firms in Great Britain, whereas lie thought we should endeavour-to eupplj retail vendors direct, and also inilj our butter at the London cool butter Sepot into retail lots of single pounds, anj have each pound stamped "X.Z. Ist grade" or "X.Z. 2nd grade" as the ci» might be. That would tend to a large extent to eliminate all possibilities of blending. Members of the executive then cfe dered in detail provisions of the Dairy Produce Export Control Bill proposedto be introduced into Parliament at the approaching session. Several until. ments were suggested, and the following motion was carried: "That the nnioi supports the Dairy Produce Control Bill as set out, with a provision that the nine producers on the board be elected directly from the dairy producers themselves, but that the method be left to the conference of delegates from fjf dairy interests." .
