At a meeting of the local committee in charge of the collection of calves for the ; National Dairy Association boneless veal pool, strong exception was taken to the criticisms voiced in Wairarapa against the ( executive of the association for having sold . forward skins and veal in the pool, states a Pahiatua telegram. It was stated that the price received was excellent. The sale of veal was made with the knowledge and consent of the London director of the Producers’ Marketing Association, Mr R. Ellison, who warned those who controlled the pool of the danger of overloading the market product. Mr M. Alpass stated that the risk in not selling forward at prices offering was tar too great. The National Dairy had done the right thing, avoiding risk. He moved that the National Dairy Association Executive be congratulated on having sold forward skins and veal in the pool at a price which would assure farmers of a good return for the calves in the scheme conducted by them. The resolution was carried unanimously.

The final meeting of the Invercargill Accountant Students’ Society was held last evening, a good muster of members and visitors attending.

Mr G. Wallace gave a paper on “Depreciation,” and in doing so, made a thorough examination of the various schemes adopted in providing for the necessary wasting of an asset in use, and the shrinkage of value due to assets becoming obsolete. Mr J. L. Sutton’s subject was “Company Capital Accounts,” in which the working of the English and Australian systems were shown. Mr Barclay, in moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, referred to the fact that this was the last meeting of the year and hoped to see all the members back again in the 1929 season.
