EGG INDUSTRY.
QUESTION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
(by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
WELLINGTON, Sept. 10. Recently . the Dominion Farmers’ Conference expressed the opinion that the Government should place the egg industry on the same footing as the fruit industry as far as financial assistance was concerned.
The Minister for Agriculture (Hon. W. Nosworthy) now has replied poining out that one of the principal factors governing the granting of a guarantee in the case of the fruit industry was the inability of the growers to secure satisfactory advances against their produce in the absence of a guarantee. “No trouble in this respect appears to have been experienced by poultrymen,” states the Minister. “In fact, it is said that advances have been forthcoming in advance of any limit which the Government could reasonably be expected to guarantee. Payable prices had been received for three shipments of eggs.”
