CHEESE INDUSTRY
THE GUARANTEED PRICE REQUEST FOR HIGHER PREMIUM (Per United Press Association) PALMERSTON N., June 15. * A conference of delegates representing cheese factories in the Wairarapa, Hawke’s Bay, Manawatu, and Taranaki to-day passed a resolution requesting the Government to lower the grade for the guaranteed price to 81J-92 as one way of securing- 2d a pound premium over butter It was pointed out that conditions this year had been against cheese companies. While finest butter had increased by 10 per cent., finest cheese was down by half, and there was also twice as much second grade. The conference decided to ask for exemption from heavy traffic fees where farmers’ lorries were used to cart to and from the farm only. A request is to be made to limit the storage charges to companies to 28 days, or alternatively that the additional costs should be refunded to the companies. It was contended that if the Government desired to hold cheese in store in order to spread shipments, the companies should not bear all that expense. These requests will be placed by a deputation before the Minister of Marketing (Mr W. Nash).
