HONEY INDUSTRY IN WESTLAND
BEEKEEPERS OPPOSED TO STATE MARKETING SCHEME (F&XSS ISBOCTATIOH TZLEGBAM.) GREYMOUTH. October 22. A representative meeting of Westland beekeepers to-night adopted resolutions opposing the State control of marketing in the Industry, with centralised packing and the licensing of packers, because it was expected to increase costs, and the inferiority of the standard of blending would result in decreased consumption on the New Zealand market. The meeting demanded that full details of the proposed legislation be submitted to a referendum of all producers. The meeting also passed a resolution etating that the export market is being subjected to distributive restriction under the Honey Control Board, by the removal of which exporters could obtain better returns and the surplus local production could be absorbed profitably by the export market
