Dairy Conferences

At the National Dairy Conference in New Plymouth it was decided to hold the national dairy conference alternately at Auckland and Wellington. While this decision may be justified to a certain extent on the score of the paucity of accommodation at the provincial centres, it is rather surprising that dairying leaders should have decided to ignore farming centres* altogether for future conferences. Accommodation for delegates may constitute a difficult problem in the country centres at present, but it should be a problem that will gradually right itself. “No Benefit to New Zealand” That no benefit to New Zealand ' ' would arise out of the decisions of the recent Empire producers’ conference at Sydney was the opinion expressed by Mr A. Morton, chairman at the National Dairy Conference at New Plymouth. He hoped that the results of the conference would benefit New Zealand, but he had very grave doubts. The British farmer was still after rei striction, and the right to be first in his own market. The farmers of Great Britain wanted restrictions on all countries within the Empire and to an even greater extent on those outside the Empire.
