A CHEESE-SELLING BOARD
Speaking at his presentation at Clareville on Tuesday night (writes our Wairarapa correspondent), Mr. James Brown, tho lato secretary of the Taratahi and Bclvedero Dairy Companies, contrasted prices offered now for cheese by tho produce companies and in the early days of tho industry. In the early days the agents of the produce firms iet one factory against another, with the 'result that prices wero down to 3Jd. The Wairarapa companies were forced to combine for their own protection, and'evolved a selling board, under which tho price all round was fixed for tho season.' The result was that prices had risen until they were now 6d., a rise of 2Jd. por pound.
