THE DAIRY CONTROL BOARD ELECTION.

."TO THE EDITOR OF THE EREBB Sir,—lf the prospects for the improvement of our dairying business do not seem too bright, the attitude of Kmc of the candidates in the Dairy Produce Control Board election are iwtMikely to improve them. Far too muds Is being made of the quota proposals. Nearly all the candidates have Aown a blind opposition- to them, fait as they have not so far explained t# the dairy farmers what these propusals ■ really are, it must be taken they know less abtiut them than ttitf j&ould. To condemn the quota on or to assert that this restriction will be a lasting one, seems rather thfMisb. Surely in making an agree- ~ Stent of this kind our representatives enough gumption to look after own side il we have to take the 9#ta on triaL Most of us have been Wafast restrictions ever since we had J# $o id school, but with all that has wea eaifl and written against quotas, So one has shown clearly that this Is worse than usual.
