PRIMARY PRODUCERS
CLOSER CO-OPEKATLON OF ORGANISATIONS URGED. Addressing the conference of the Fruitgrowers? Federation yesterday morning, Colonel Pow (secretary to the New Zealand Farmers’ Union) said that the Farmers’ Union felt that the time was duo for closer co-operation between all the producers’ organisations. Each had their own detailed questions, but on such subjects as taxation, labour, and freights, they had common interests, and should have a method of taking joint action in tho producers’ interests. Politics were looming up_ largely, and although the Farmers’ Union was non-political it had taken the step of inviting eight members of Parliament to consult with it on farmers’ questions, notably the desire for agricultural hanks. By combining for mutual fire insurance, the farmers were making great savings. The farmers’ mutual insurance business in Taranaki was equal to two millions sterling, and Otago had increased its business to £1,000,000. The chairman assured Colonel Pow that fruitgrowers fully realised the no Cessity of closer co-operation between different bodies of producers.
