PRICE OF EGGS
Sir,—l read with* interest the statement by the chairman of the New Zealand Poultry Board, Mr-J. W. MeGlinchey, on the price of eggs. The price of standard mash was increased in October, but there has not been any increase in the price of eggs. Mr McGlinchey states that the Poultry Board members had the poultry industry’s interests at heart. If that is so, I would like to know why the Poultry Board members are not in favour of bran and pollard being released to poultry farmers who wish to mix their own mashes. In 1946 the standard mash scheme was brought in as an emergency, and the Government promised that bran and pollafd would be released again as soori as the food position had eased. There is now a plentiful supply of bran and pollard if it were released 'o' poultry farmers who wished to use •t instead of the standi rd mashes.— Yours, etc., D. J. LLOYD. Timaru, November 22, 1949.
