TIRED OF DAIRYING
TENDENCY OF FARMERS
(Bjr Telegraph—Press Association.) j WHANGAREI, This Day. Reference to the current tendency of backblock settlers to give up dairying for other forms of primary production, was made by Mr. M. Dempster at. the annual meeting of the Hikurangi Dairy Company. He believed that unless assistance was given by extended cream collection facilities farmers in remote districts would find other ways of earning a livelihood. The speaker drew attention to the large number of clearing sales, and said that dairymen were not selling their'herds because they ceased 'to leve money. They would still be "cow cockies," but they realised the hardship of a milkers' life which, under the present regulations, was more difficult than ever. Before long a tremendous number would give up dairying to run fat slock or sheep or walk off their farms altogether.
