HIGH-PRICED LAND.

PRESENT AND FUTURE PROBLEMS. WELLINGTON, May 28. A conference of producers and freezing companies to deal with the problem of tbj»

meat export trade of the future concluded to-day. A number of resolutions were agreed to by the conference, but these are to be submitted to the Government before being made public. It was discovered at .ui..ut.u. kiuit any attempt to deal with the complex questions involved by such a large meeting was doomed to failure, and it was partly as a result of this discovery that the decision was made to set up a committee to deal with the details and to submit a scheme to the Governj merit,, setting out the requirements of the ' farmers and the companies. It was decided that the committee should consist of 10 members, four to bs nominated by the producers, two by the freezing companies, two , by the Government, and two representa- ! tives of banking institutions. It was un- ! derstood that one of the Government ! nominees is to be a producer. The order | of reference for the committee is not yet | available. It will be wide enough to permit of the committee dealing fully with all problems facing the meat industry at present.
