; (To the Editor of the BeraJd.l ! Sir,—l a »i sure that many beside I tanners have taken a keen interest ii j their .deliberation recently. They seec I to have arrived at some conclusions * winch, as I understand is, that a selec j committee is to investigate the method j of the Imperial control of the distribu I tion of the New Zealand farmers' meal and further, see that the consumers (h » the Old Country) are not exploited b speculators. I am glad that; suci humane feelings seem to influence th prime movers m this agitation, am therefore* venture to offer a suggestio: for the committee to enquire into, viz. Why is it that the meat consumers c Poverty Bay have to subsist,upon th very second-rate quality which is sol by our butchers. I cannot conceiv that our farmers for mere gain, woul palni off the old ewes or the antiquated cow on the public except upon patrioti grounds. I suppose it is thoughtlest ness. Either the farmers ov the. consun* ers are not understood. It may be th buyers of meat m England are ovei (charged therefor, whilst we m Gisborn mjght fairly ask the Solent Committe to investigate and devise a remedy' fc incongruitieß which exist. The disposs of the "old nns" m a mere detail, fc owing to" the war our ingenuity will I quickened, aud many and startling'dii coverifla mado with regard to fibrot and plastic substances, such as syr thetic vubbei-, etc. I shall only t too pleased to offer further suggestior when requested. —Yours, etc., t w. l. imjSr
