BOBBY CALF POOLS

CONTROL AREAS DEFINED Electric Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, Last Night The Minister of Marketing (Hon. W. Nash) announces that the Gover-nor-GeneraJ has now approved of the bobby calf marketing regulations for 1938. The Minister stated that they bad been framed as a result of the dairying industry itself requesting that adequate protection be given to bobby call pools where the overwhelming majority of producers in any given area expressed a desire for such protection. It was not the Government’s intention to control in any way the practical functioning of pools, but the services of the Internal Marketing division would be placed at the disposal of m pool committees and assistance would be gi\en to the point where the necessity for organisation itself was apparent for pools to carry out their operations successfully. The regulations empower the Minister o: Marketing to declare a defined area as a bobby calf jiool and no person within the area may sell or otherwise dispose of his calves otherwise than through the committee appointed to control that area. Pool committees will be elected by tbe suppliers themselves and their appointment confirmed by the Minister by means of a Gazette notice. At the same time also the specific boundaries of each pool area will be defined.
