Strong criticism of the directors of the Gisborne Slioepfarmers’ F.M. and M. Go. was made by Mr. G. \ . Smith at to-day’s meeting of shareholders. Air. Smith said that farmers in the district were being penalised. At A. and P. Association meetings he advocated increased production, but it did not seem much use. Farmers here received 5s per ICOlbs less for their beef than did the farmers of Hawke’s Bay, and 2s 6d less per sheep. That was due to tho way the directors managed the business. Several of the directors replied, strongly criticising Mr. Smith for his altitude, and contending that the shareholders had! the power to put in other directors if they wanted to do so.
