PRIMARY INDUSTRIES
A DIFFICULT POSITIQU [Per United Press Association.] GISBORNE, October 3. A serious position in the primary industries was referred to by Mr 8. Jesser, chairman of the Wairoa Farmers’ Freezing Company, at the annual meeting. He said that the meat now held up would probably go Home in two or three ships at the end of the year. This was serious enough, but Australia was likely to have a much larger lulling of lambs this year, thus claiming with the New Zealand trade at the opening of the season. The situation was so dangerous that every farmer should know the position. Mr Jesser, who is also a member of the Meat Board, stated that the freezing works of the dominion—whether buying works or farmers’ works—were in a precarious position. There were two forces operating last season which practically brought the industry to this position! that with very few exceptions the money invested in freezing works was being loaned to the country without interest. This position could not remain indefinitely.
