THE DAIRYING BUSINESS
Sir, —What this business needs must be done by legislation. There is no other way. We must take the industry from the beginning and by legislation control it by ah able, independent, capable body of men. We can start with the collection of milk and cream. Many thousands of pounds can be saved' yearly in this. Take the number of lorries overlapping one another, and the unnecessary wear of the roads. When this matter is put in order tlie quality of our produce will be much imjiroved. Then comes the sales. The whole of this should be controlled, the produce sold at a fixed, payable rate and all exported nnder Government control to the best markets and the best possible advantages. We should cut all sidelines, the Control Board and many so-called sales agencies, where many thousands, of pounds will be saved. The farmer should receive a fair living price and I venture to say that the industry will pay it if thoroughly reorganised and put on a proper business footing. It is the duty of our Government to take this matter up more seriously, as •it is the very life and future of our country. v Concerned.
