APPEAL TO FARMERS
MEAT SHIPMENTS TO BRITAIN MAINTENANCE OF NORMAL FLOW 'Per (Jntter Press Association ) WELLINGTON, Oct. 30. An appeal to farmers to do all they can to assist in maintaining the normal flow of meat shipments to the United Kingdom was made bv the Minister of Marketing (Mr W. Nash) in a national broadcast this evening. Ample tonnage had been provided, he said, to deal with the early killing of lambs, Mr Nash said that arrangements had been made for shipoing to empty the freezing stores of all last season’s surplus meat before the new season’s operations commenced. The Government and the Meat Board had given consideration to the problems involved to see if it would be possible to avoid a lot of trouble experienced in the last war The Government fully appreciated the serious position which would occur if farmers were unable to get their stock killed when it was ready. Farmers could help the position if they would in every way possible continue the usual practice of delivering all their early lambs to the freezing works. In doing this farmers might avoid disappointment in getting their stock away later on. If the ships available were not filled the lamb would be in store and when later ships came there would not be the space 10 take it away.
