AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND PRICES
Sir.—-The attitude of Mr G. d. Warren in his presidential report to the North Cr.ntuibury District of Federated Farmers' annual conference should not go unchallenged. Facts, as a result of the n )licy of the federation, r it is partridge peas, butter. i <•. in or milk, or whether in New Zealand or Great Britain, should be c'kibli.’hed. Under the federation's m • i mum-minimum milk is 8d a quart retail the year round, but esti-m-at d to cost over 9d a quart, operatrd by a closed union, except for February and March, when seagull i butt i factories come in . uo ; bi: o r subsidy Um,,dc.es Mr Warren justify 3s. a pint retail for cream, also from a closed union. Dairy butter returns would not onlv J-- 2d a ration at 3.5 nor cont. o’.’ butter-fat. or 7’d a pint. Great Britain is also suffering from combined agriculture monopolies.—Yours, etc., H. BLISS. Ma y 25. 1950.
