COMPULSORY GRADING.
FARMERS' MILK AND CREAM.
DEPARTMENT'S VIEW.
TIME NOT YET OPPORTUNE.
[j;y TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON. Friday. Replying to representations of the Farmers' Union that cream and milk grading should be compulsory by thoroughly qualified graders licensed by the Government, the Minister for Agriculture stated that the matter was under consideration. Although the department appreciated the weight of opinion in favour of the proposal it considered that tho time was hardly ripe for the introduction of compulsion throughout the Dominion. Cream-grading was extending voluntarily, and with this condition becoming more general conditions would become established under which a general desire for the exercise of compulsion would bo brought about.
