POSSIBLE COMPETITOR IN AUSTRALIA
MR LEE MARTIN EXPRESSES FEAR (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 16. “Once the Australian farmer wakes up and starts to farm in earnest New Zealand will have a most serious competitor,” said the Minister of Agriculture (the Hon. W. Lee Martin), when addressing a big gathering of farmers and factory managers at the East Tamaki Co-operative Dairy Factory today where a demonstration was held of a nqw system of butter manufacture by the vacuum process. Referring to the help given by the department to farmers, the Minister said the department’s officers hitherto had been regarded as inspectors—“nosey parkers”—but that title had been altered and farmers should know that those officers who visited their farms were not inspectors, but instructors.
