BRITISH MILK SALES

REVISION OF THE SCHEME. London, Sept. 28A sub-committee of the Milk Marketing Board has been set up to consider amendments to the Milk Scheme as at present in operation, states the correspondent of the Wellington Post, A committee has also been formed to co-ordin-ate the work of all the marketing boards on matters of policy where common interests are involved. It is acknowledged that the Milk Board has not been Unaware of the defects of the scheme, nor heedless of representations to amend it. It has, however, been anxious to observe the results of the scheme over a reasonable period, and to make any alterations en bloc instead of piecemeal. As a year has elapsed since the scheme came fully into operation, it is now felt to be opportune to review it in the light of experience. The new sub-committee has held a meeting, and it is hoped that agreement as to the alterations to be made in the scheme will be reached in about three or four months. This will allow ample time for Parliamentary sanction before the next contract period. The committee will discuss, among other things, the question of special transport charges, and the alteration of regions. It is also probable that all producers of milk, including the four-cow men, will be brought into the scheme.
