HONEY MARKETING
' Sir,—lnstead of a flat refusal,, it is a pity that the Beekeepers’ Association has no plan of its own to put forward. Hospitals and troops should get the honey they need as soon as P°ssihle. The Minister of Marketing has chosen the easiest way out, but a very clumsy and unfair one. With the variation m yield and quality of honey among the many districts, a flatratecouldnevr be satisfactorily applied At 7d per lb, which reduces to about 6d net for first grade, the beekeeper who usually sells his honey wholesale would not be much worse off; but to others, this could.be disastrous. Near centres of population low yield is P c°mnpnsated for by direct sale to the coosumer but if the beekeeper usually sells all his honey at 9d # he would now require to charge Is 4d for his remain ing 30 per cent, to equal that. As n is, he can charge up to Is Sd retail. With your permission I will complete my case in a further letter.-Yours. etc ” T.A.S.
