THE PIG INDUSTRY
UNIFORM METHOD OF BUYING URGED. Palmerston North, November 12. From tho point of view of the pig industry of New Zealand, a conference held in Palmerston North to-day between representatives of the Dairy Farmers’ Union and bacon companies operating in Manawatu was fraught with great possibilities. The meeting was called by the Daily Farmers’ Union, which is anxious to see a uniform method of buying adopted by the companies. What is known as hook weight# waa suggested as the best method, as it would be the first step in the direction of buying pigs on grade and so encouraging fanners to produce.an animal of first quality and a pig that would build up the Dominion export trade. The Dairy Fanners’ Union waa advised to approach the whole of the curers of the Dominion, so that hook weight buying could be adopted as a natonal practice.
