M l PERCENTAGE OF PORKERS TO BACONERS I : I I MR W. LEE MARTIN'S ANNOUNCE- ■ ! MENT t [United Press Association] »J WELLINGTON, This Day. 1 1 “The Government to-day received a cable from the High Commissioner stat- . | ing that the British Ministry of Food ■ | had agreed to remove the restriction of i the percentage of porkers to baconers, | but expects us to maintain the approximate pre-war percentages,” states the j Hon. W. Lee Martin, Minister of Agrii culture. “It is extremely gratifying to ■ I know that our representations on behalf J of producers received such sympathetic ; treatment and it should now be possible i; for pig raisers in the Dominion to disI pose of all this season’s pigs to the best j advantage. It is hoped it will not be i necessary to restrict the export of pork ; and bacon next season, and every en-
deavour will be made to obtain the consent of the Ministry of Food in this connection.”
