PROPOSED WOOL LEVY
POVERTY BAY OPPOSITION USING MEAT BOARD RESERVE [by telegrafh—own correspondent] OISBOBNE. Monday The Poverty Bay Farmers' Union has decided to support the principle of wool research, but to oppose the proposed levy of threepence a bale to finance it, the opinion being expressed that a surplus of £IOO,OOO hold by the Meat Board should be called upon. Mr. J. C. Field remarked that many farmers were not receiving threepence a bale from wool themselves. On tho other hand, they had provided an annual levy for tho Meat Board, which now had a surplus of £IOO,OOO. Mr. F. S. Bowen: No one would object to threepence a halo to improve tho wool, but when it is to be used only for semi-political purposes wo can do without it. Several other speakers urged the value of research, but the general opinion was that the Meat Board should be made to release some of its accumulated funds.
