THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

BUSINESS BEFORE CONFERENCE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 21. Tlie method of the election of Dairy Board members was considered by the dairy conference and the view was held that the method was not democratic, as had been proved by the recent election. A committee consisting of one delegate from each ward was set up to investigate the systems of the election of primary producers’ boards overseas. The committee is to make a recommendation to the next conference of the system best suited to the New Zealand dairy industry. Consideration was given to a scheme brought clown for the unified marketing of butter on the New Zealand market. It was made clear that there was no intention of attempting to secure a premium on butter sold locally over and above overseas parity, so that the New Zealand consumer would not be affected. The conference emphatically supported a suggestion that farm dairy instruction be instituted on a Dominionwide basis on the block system. A suggestion that in cream grading there should be only two grades, instead of three as at present, was negatived. The conference decided that the board should urge upon the Government the necessity for finding money lor research work. Members pointed out that tlie Government was not honouring its obligation of providing £3500.
