BOBBY CALF EMBARGO
“The bobby calf business is likely to work into a scandal,” remarked Mr. J. W. Jones (president Bay Subprovincial Farmers’ Union) at a meeting of the Kaikohe branch of the Union last Saturday. He stated that an embargo had been placed on the export of bobby calf meat, but there was no good reason for it. It did not interfere with the meat trade in Britain-in any way as practically all of it went to one firm that made meat paste and potted it. * A Voice : What is it called when it gets in the pot? Mr. J. W. Jones : Perhaps ham and chicken. However, the embargo depressed the prices for bobby calves and farmers sold at very low levels. Now it is suspected the operators, having got the calves at the poor prices, the embargo will be lifted in their interest, and they will reap a
rich reward at the expense of the hard-driven farmer.
