ONION MARKETING
CRITICAL PUBLICITY DEPRECATED BY COMMITTEE (Per United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, May 26. A meeting of the South Island Onion Marketing Advisory Committee was held to-day to discuss further the marketing position in regard to onions. After the meeting, which was attended by all members, ■ including both the president and secretary of the Canterbury Onion Growers' Association, the chairman (Mr R. B. Tennent) handed to the press the following resolution, which was passed unanimously by the committee: — " This committee deprecates the critical publicity which has been given to the onion marketing scheme. While a scheme of this nature in its inception must be subject to minor defects which only experience can rectify, the committee wishes to place on record its opinion that in the main the scheme has operated to the advantage of growers generally, and the Minister of Agriculture has in an honest endeavour materially improved the onion growing and marketing position."
