DAIRY REGULATIONS.

The member for New Plymouth (Mr. H. Okey) presented a petition to the House yesterday on the. subject of the dairy regulations. The signatories were dairy farmers, who urged that the House should give serious attention to the widespread dissatisfaction which, exists among the farming community against the proposed new dairy regulations and more particularly against the proposal to charge a registration fee on milch cows. They prayed that at any rate the proposed charge might be removed from 'Jhe regulations "as," they said, "if the Government insists on this point, we fear there will be mucb resistance to the payment of such fees and consequently serious trouble will ensue."
