SALE OF BOBBY CALVES
Sir, —The dairy farmers of Oxford received 27s a calf at gate up to the exchange rate alteration; then they received 19s. the exchange rate would be 5s 4d, leaving £1 Ig Bd. Now perhaps Mr Nash or the company that buys the calves can tell the farmers where the 2s 8d has gone.—Yours, etc., F. J. FRAMPTON, Cooper’s Creek, Nov. 11, 1948.
[“The correspondent is right up to a point but the value of the skins has dropped recently,” said the manager of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Market Association (Mr G. O. Templeton) when this letter was referred to him. The company which bought the dairy cattle is not known to “The Press.”]
