Barter Assurance Wanted
The North Canterbury meat and wool executive of Federated Farmers would like an assurance that within the framework of the recommendations of the Wool Marketing Study Group a system of bi-lateral or barter trading could be negotiated, the chairman of the section (Mr A. F. Wright) said last evening. Mr Wright, who was commenting on the report of the group released last evening, said that farmers who had been reading the background papers, would not be surprised by the recommendations. “It seems a reflection on our industry that it has taken a crisis of the present magnitude to have stimulated the formulation of a modern, efficient, and stabilising marketing system,” he said. “Farmers are unanimous that the sale of wool based on objective measurement at
last makes wool competitive with other fibres in the textile industry. “This is a most satisfactory report for both the farmer ana the country.” His executive would be studying the report in more detail and would be commenting further, he' said.
