BOBBY CALF TRADE
METHODS OPEN TO CRITICISM RATIONALISED BASIS PROPOSED (Per United Press Association) HAMILTON, June 28. *' The methods adopted in the bobby calf trade are, as we all know, open to serious criticism, and I am particularly anxious that it should be put on a more rationalised basis than it is at present,’* said the Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. Lee Martin), speaking at the National Dairy Conference. “In this connection the Dairy Produce Board is making a careful survey 'of the whole position, and will’be shortly submitting definite prqposals to me by which a rationalised objective can be reached. I feel that in this matter the board.is particularly suitable, not only to formulate proposals,- but also to be given that measure of statutory power that would enable a satisfactory internal organisation from the farmers’ standpoint to be in its hands. Something along that line appears to be the most reasonable manner of approach to put the position on . a far more satisfactory basis than it is at present.
