EXPORT OF FROZEN MEAT.
CANTERBURY'S REQUIREMENTS.
CHRISTCHURCH, April 9.
At a meeting of farmers to-day, convened to consider the refrigerated shipping spac© shortage, the following motion was earned s "This meeting of Oanterbuxv farmers desires to bring before the Government the urgent need of prompt action to relieve the present space problem. Canterbury is suffering from serious drought, and unlesj
tat lambs are killed in the next three weeks the loss to Canterbury will be serious. We are advised that butter and cheese are given preference, but we consider the Government should put meat first, in spite of the Home controller. Wo suggest that the .Corinthic, coming to Lyttelton on April 22, should load meat entirely from Lyttelton. This woiiid materially relievo the position."
