PORK EXPORT SUBSIDY.
HOW IT WILL BE GRANTED
(By Telegraph.—Presa Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday.
The Hon. O. J. Hawken, Minister of Agriculture, has issued the following statement in regard to the recent announcement by the Prime Minister that the Government had decided to give financial assistance toward the export of pork during the present and the next two seasons:—
"It was the desire of the Government that the producer should actually receive the bonus direct, but this would involve a complicated method of administration and expense which would not be warranted. It has now been decided that the most practical and satisfactory way of handling the matter is to grant a refund of one-half penny a pound weight on the overseas freight on all pigs weighing from 601b to 1801b, exported to Great Britain or other countries in Europe. "The refund will apgly only to pigs killed from February 1 to October 31 next, and afterwards exported to Europe. Payments will be made to exporters after the receipt of monthly claims, showing the number of pigs exported and the weights, each claim to be supported by a statutory declaration that all the pigs covered by it were slaughtered not earlier than February 1, 1928, and were exported to Europe and were within the weights specified. This arrangement will, as already mentioned, apply only until October 31 next."
