WOOL BOARD FAVOURED
ACTION IN POVERTY BAY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Gisborne, Dee. 13. A well-attended meeting of fanners passed a resolution favouring the setting up of a .wool board to reduce the cost of marketing, the control of sales and the employment of valuers of wool in New- Zealand. Resolutions favouring the adoption ot a different system of election for the Meat Board and the prohibition of overseas companies owning freezing works in New Zealand, were carried unanimously. The Minister of Lands, who was present, said that without expressing any personal opinion as to the merit of the Proposal for a wooLboard, he considered the opinions of the majority of the farmers should rule. Regarding meat, he was sure co-operative marketing was coming, but this must grow gradually, and any attempt to rush things would end in disaster. They should remember the Government could only go as far the public would allow’.
