HONEY INDUSTRY
CONTROL OF MARKETING OPPOSED (Per United Press Association) GREYMOUTH, Oct. 22. A representative meeting of Westland beekeepers to-night adopted resolutions opposing State control of thn marketing of honey with centralised packing and the licensing of packers, because it was expected to increase costs and result in decreased consumption on the New Zealand market. The meeting also demanded that full details of the proposed legislation should be submitted to a referendum of all producers. A further resolution was passed stating that the export market was being subjected to distributive restriction under the Honey Control Board, by the removal of which exporters would obtain better returns and the surplus local production could be absorbed profitably by the export market.
