TARANAKI FARMERS MAKE PROTEST
FIXING OF GUARANTEED PRICES FOR SEASON
(United Press Association) HAWERA, October 14.
A strong protest against what it considers to be the arbitrary manner in which the new season’s prices for butter and. cheese were fixed by the Government has been forwarded by the Taranaki Federation of Dairy Companies to the Minister of Marketing (the Hon. W. Nash). The federation states that a strong feeling of resentment exists among Taranaki dairy farmers and suggests that the Minister should arrange meetings of farmers in the various dairying districts with a view to holding an early conference between the Government and representatives of the industry. It is pointed out to the Minister that the farmers of Taranaki are wholeheartedly behind any steps necessary as war measures, but they f- =1 that they should have been consulted before the present prices were fixed.
