‘NEW DEAL’ WELCOMED
ATTITUDE OF DAIRY INDUSTRY MR W. A. PHILLIPS’ STATEMENT Regarding the new deal for the dairy industry as announced by the Prime Minister, Mr W. A. Phillips, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Marketing Association, said that it would 'be welcomed by the dairy farmer as an honest attempt to restore his status quo with other sections of the community, thus providing the incentive to increase production now so vitally and urgently needed to successfully prosecute the war effort. The improvement in the return for pig meat, including the subsidy for cropping, shoud now make this branch of dairy production sufficiently attractive to ensure a wholehearted response in arresting the fall in killings which, over the last three years, inclusive of the current season, would be little short of 300,000 pigs, representing in money value to the dairy industry a loss of income approximating £1,000,000.
