THE WORLD MARKETS.

The address to be delivered in Masterton to-day by Major Norton, D.5.0., managing director of the Bristol an<] Dominions Producers' Association, will doubtless be of a very instructive character. The> chief point for consideration with the farmer just now, however, is not where he shall market his produce, but how he shall get his produce to market. With such a demand upon our shipping for military transports, how ' are we going to find the space for our frozen meat, our wool, our mutton and choese? Major Norton may be able to assure us on this point. ;Wlith the scheme for co-operation, in the distribution of our produce there is vei-y general sympathy in this district. Co-operation in manufacture and product-ion lias developed our dairy industry to an enormous extent. But wliil.e we have been careful about the wastage at this end, we have hitherto displayed lamentable indifference concerning the' methods employed in placing our primary goods upon the market. If the Bristol and Dominions Producers' Association has done nothing else, it has awakened an interest in a matter which is of vital importance to the progress of our national industries.
