MARKING REDUCES THE SELLING VALUE. United Press Association—-By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, Jan. 20. The Meat Inquii-y Council read Australian and New Zealand cables opposing marking on the grounds that it wuld decrease the output A Smithfield butcher said that branded legs of Australian mutton fetched a halfpenny per pound less than unmarked ones. Mr R. S. Forsyth, representative of the New Zealand Meat Producers' Board, in evidence beforo the committee of inquiry into meat marking explained the New Zealand Government ’s various schemes to ensure wholesomeness of the meat supply. New Zealand had spent £20,000 in 1932 in advertising the moat, so that any mark of recognition in the retailing of that mea: “is going to help us; bu 1 from experiments made over a series of years :t had never been found that marking of mc/-.t was a satisfactory form of recognition, particularly when applied to frozen meat, which had been defrosted." Mr Forsyth read a cable fro'o the New Zealand Meat Board declaring that the branding would decrease the output by at least 30. per cent The increase in production costs would bo £8 for every 1000 carcases. “This extra cost would nullify ail our efforts," Mr Forsyth added, “and pinetically all the extra cost would fall on the producer unless the customer could be persuaded to pay more, which is unlikely." He was horrified to learn that the marking ink was composed of methylated spirit, glycerine and aniline dye. “If our meat is marked in this ink," he said, “the trade with the high-class butchers would be definitely affected."
