MILK INDUSTRY
’ NATION-WIDE SCHEME LONDON, Feb. 3. The Daily Express’ agricultural correspondent reveals that a great scheme is to bo drawn up for organising and developing the milk industry of England and Wales, which is already worth £66.000,000 a year, and may be made worth much more.
It will he the largest and most complicated effort at national planning yet attempted in Great Britain. The scheme, it is expected, will comprise the whole of England and Wales, and although it cannot be imposed on the milk producers it will be compulsory for them all if approved by a twothirds majority. The sale of milk under contract prices would be prohibited, wasteful training of milk right across the eapuntry would be eliminated, the manufacture of butter and cheese would be put on a more regular basis, and the canning of British milk would be facilitated.
A £60Q,000 a year fund might be raised for advertising British milk, and the farmers who produce milk would benefit from better prices and larger sales.
