TO AID PRODUCE SALES TO U.S.
Tubercular-Free Areas Urged
(New Zealand Press Association) HAMILTON, June 20.
In order to take advantage of the American market, the dairy section executive of Waikato Federated Farmers, at its monthly meeting in Hamilton today, decided in a resolution to ask the authorities to concentrate on freeing of tuberculosis those areas where the incidence of the disease was lightest. In this way, it was stated, it would be possible to supply overseas markets with tubercularfree produce from certain areas. The chairman (Mr J. O. Toner) said that perhaps there could be concentration on the South Island, where the incidence of T.B. was comparatively light.
Sales of New Zealand frozen cream to the American armed forces, he said, had fallen through because the Dominion had been unable to provide T.8.-free produce.
However, if the South Island could be made completely T. 8.free it would then be possible to provide a T.8.-free article.
