At the last annual meeting of the New Zealand Farmers' Union a resolution was passed*in regard to the election of members of the. New Zealand Meat Producers' Board.

My board would further point out that the representative stock owners who attended the last annual meeting of the board, and who were the delegates tor the producers from all parts of the Dominion, expressed themselves as entirely satisfied with the present system." The Minister adds: "In view of the position as set out, it is not intended to take any further action in connection with this matter at present.
