MEAT AND WOOL CONFERENCE
Remits On Dipping And Meat Sales
A show of hands at the annual conference of the meat and wool section of North Canterbury Federated Farmers yesterday rejected a remit from the Hororata branch “that Federated Farmers request the Department of Agriculture to include a dipping section in the owner’s annual return of sheep” by 17 votes to 16. A remit from the Omihi ■branch oh marketing was declared lost. This remit was: “that Federated Farmers press for the formation of an international meat secretariat to alleviate the dumping of meat on any one market and to encourage increased production and the distribution of red meat in new markets.” Mr D. G. McGrath moved “that we press for experiments to be carried out by the Department of Agriculture to ascertain the proportion of dieldrin in the carcases of sheep so dipped.” This was seconded by Mr M. H. Johnston and carried.
