SALE OF DAIRY COWS
PREVENTION ORDER RULE ONLY IN ABEYANCE [jkom our own correspondent] 2XATAMATA, Friday Tliat the Order-in-Council which prevented the sale of dairy cows in cheese districts had only been held in abeyance and not annulled was stressed by Mr. P. W. Doidge, M P., in an address to Matamata farmers. Mr. Doidge said a Southland farmer, aged 6t), whose son was io hospital with rheumatic fever and whose daughter was married, had decided to sell Ms herd owing to these facts and his inability ijo get labour. The sale was duly advertised, but a representative of the Department of Agriculture called upon the auctioneers and asked if they had a permit for the sale. They had replied that they did not know a jpermit was necessary. The Order-in-Council was then sho«?i and the sale stopped. With other members, Mr. Doidge said he had made strong representations to tlße Minister, with the result that the Ortler-in-Council wais now being held in abeyance. However, as it had not been annulled, the position would have to be :tvatched very carefully.
