Resolutions Carried at Dairy Conference

The second annual conference of No. 1 Ward of the Dairy Control Board was held in Whangarei last week. Nearly every dairy company in the area north of Waitemata was represented, and many farmers who were not accredited delegates were interested listeners. There were also present prominent leaders in the industry, including Messrs. C. M. Luke, East Coast representative on the Control Board, A. J. Sinclair, secretary - manager of the Te Awamutu Dairy Company, and S. A. Fergusson, president of the South Auckland Dairy Association. Mr. A. J. Murdoch, M.P. for Marsden, was also present. Mr. W. Grounds presided. The following resolutions were carried :

“That a subsidy be requested from the Government covering running costs of the average dairy farm and providing a reasonable standard of living to farmers, this relief to apply from the commencement of the present season and to operate until the price level rises above the level agreed on as a minimum necessity.” (Moved by Mr. E. R. Bird, Kaitaia).

“That this meeting protests against the passing of legislation providing for the establishment of an overriding Council of Production and Trade.” (Moved by Mr. C. B. Michie, Kaitaia). •

“That this meeting reaffirm the principle that, in any reconstitution of the Dairy Produce Board, 75 percent of the members should be producers’ representatives.” (Moved by Mr. A. C. Hingston, Bay of Islands).

“That this conference place on record its most vigorous opposition to the proposals in circulation which advocate or imply quantitative restriction under the designation of planned production, etc. It is the opinion of this conference that there should be a thorough overhaul of the present conditions governing distribution and consumption of our primary products, with the object of making these products readily available to those who require them and have the goods and services to offer us in return.” (Moved by Mr. C. B. Michie, Kaitaia).

A NSW FORM OF LUBRICANT

Lately various brands of graphite lubricants, to mix with crankcase oil, have been put on the market, and one of the best known of these is Graphoil. Colloidal Graphite what is it? : Ultra-microscopic particles of purest graphite dispersed in the highest grades of carrier oil—a highly concentrated solution. These particles cannot precipitate, being held in place by an electrical charge, and will pass through the finest of filters and oil strainers.

What will it do? : Forms a microscopic film called a “graphoid surface” on all the mechanical moving parts. The graphoid surface is impervious to heat and assists in the spreading of the oil, as well as being in itself a perfect lubricant. Friction is materially reduced, the engine life prolonged, and a general increased mechanical efficiency produced. This reflects directly in smoother running; additional power, greater benzine mileage, and lowered oil consumption. Graphoil is invaluable for running-in new cars or re-bores. It preserves that new car efficiency and reduces wear and tear to the minimum ; gives immunity from seizure ; is not diluted by petrol; eliminates that “dry revving” period from cold starting. How is it used? : Very small quantities only are added to both the engine oil and benzine. The cost is negligible—about Id. every 25 miles. Is it recommended? : Leading car

manufacturers and oil companies in Great Britain give their unqualified endorsement. Thousands of satisfied users in New Zealand.
