The remarks of % F. F. Hockley, M.P., when concluding his address at a meeting of dairymen at Te Awamutu held in connection with the opening of a new factory, when he pointed out that the farmer had been promised better prices for his output as a result of amalgamation, trnt this had not been consummated, called for a hearty outburst of applause from many of the dairy farmers present. Mr Hockley said the farmer was often blamed for. his shortcomings in sending butter-fat to the factories, but there was room for improvement in the control after the butter-fat was received at the factory. Amalgamation had not resulted in the pro T mised reduction in manufacturing costs, or in overhead charges, while it was problematical whether . the prices obtained on the Home market were any higher than would have been obtained without the amalgamation. Amalgamation had certainly achieved some good, but the shareholder wanted to see better financial returns accruing to himself. Many held the opinion that what gains had been made in one respect were lost in others. That was where the management must concentrate its attention, with a view to fulfilling its promises. < INFLUENZA germs lodge in mouth and nose—Nazol destroys them.
