DAIRY MARKETING.

SCHEME EXPECTED FROM MR. GOODFELLOW. A lengthy Press Association message from Auckland, which we have not space to print in full, states that the return of Mr. W. Goodfellow, managing director of Amalgamated Dairies, Ltd., and of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, Ltd., from Australia last week has raised to fever heat the interest of dairymen throughout the Dominion concerning the marketing proposals of those organisations for the coming season. It is understood that Mr. Goodfellow has completed an important agreement with large co-opera-tive interests in Australia for the more efficient marketing of Australian and New Zealand produce in the United Kingdom. It is also understood that other producing countries may be induced to link up with Australia and New Zealand and the far-reaching effects of such an arrangement can be easily realised. It is generally acknowledged by foremost co-operative dairy interests, the message states, that the board has not concerned ‘self with the formulation of a marketing policy, but rather has confined its attention to the betterment of' existing machinery. The board’s lack of attention to the marketing end of the’ business, which, it is conceded, is of most vital importance has proved disappointing to many of the industry’s leaders, and has in no small measure tended to create a lack of confidence in its ability to undertake those duties for which the board- was primarily instituted, It is suggested that Mr. Goodfellow’s forthcoming scheme possibly may bring him again into friendly collaboration with Mr. W. Grounds.
