A farmer speaking at a recent meeting of producers held at Ncv>- Plymouth said that he had consigned Home some 700 wethers that had cost him in the neighbourhood of £1 a head. He would be lucky, however, if he received 5/- in return. Another delegate remarked that a 61b tin of meat, was realising at Homo, something like 6d at present, whereas the tin alone cost companies 1/1. These instances were an illustration of the hardships facing producers at present.
