BOBBY CALVES

MARKETING CONTROL PROTECTION FOR POOLS ASSISTANCE BY GOVERNMENT [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Thursday An announcement that the GovernorGeneral has now approved of the Bobby Calf Marketing Regulations. 1938, was made to-day by the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W. Nash. Ho stated that they had been framed as a result of the dairying industry itself requesting that adequate protection be given to bobby calf pools. "Where on overwhelming majority of producers in. any given area expresses a desire for such protection it is not the Government's intention to control in any way the practical functioning of the pools," said Mr. Nash, "but the services of the Internal Marketing Division will be placed at the disposal of the pool committees and assistance will bo given to the point where the necessary organisation itself is apparent for the pools to carry out their operations successfully." The regulations empower the Minister of Marketing to declare a defined area as a bobby calf pool, and no person within this area may sell or otherwise dispose of his calves other than through the committee appointed to control that area. The pool committees will bo elected by the suppliers themselves and their appointment confinned by the Minister by means of a Gazette notice. At the same timo also the specific boundaries of each pool area will bo defined.
