WOOL BOARD.
FAVOURED BY GISBORNE FARMERS. (BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS * SSOCIATION.) GISBORNE, Dec. 13. A well-attended meeting of farmers passed a motion favouring the setting up of a wool board to reduce the cost of marketing, to control sales, and to employ valuers of wool in New Zealand. Motions favouring the adoption of a different system of election for the Meat Board and the prohibition of overseas companies owning freezing works in New Zealand were carried unanimously. The Minister of Lands, who was present, said that without expressing any personal opinion as to the merit of the proposal for the wool board he considered the opinions of the majority of the farmers should rule. Regarding meat, he was sure that co-operative marketing was coming, hut this must grow gradually, and any. attempt to rush things would end in disaster. They should remember that the Government could only go -as far as the public would allow.
