SUBSIDISED BUTTER
PRODUCERS' PROBLEM
(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received September 8, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, September 7.
In reviewing the imported dairy produce trade for 1936-37, W. WeddeJ, Ltd., declare that though slightly more business at better prices was done than for the year, before, the financial results at both ends were far from satisfactory. The average price of all imported butter, excepting Danish, was under £100 per ton. It was a hard struggle for Dominion farmers to make a living at that fig-, ure without a subsidy. Higher retail prices will not solve the producers' problem, because as soon as the price goes above Is 2d per pound, consumers turn to margarine.
