BUTTER MARKETING
NEW GOVERNMENT’S POLICY. CONTROL SCHEME POSTPONED. It will be remembered that a group marketing scheme for export purposes and proposals for controlling sales of dairy produce locally were adopted at the Dominion Dairy Conference last year. Now comes the intimation, from Wellington that the Government has requested the Dairy Board to postpone the bringing into force of the proposed regulations for the control of the local market, so stated the Hon. W|. Lee Martin, Minister of Agriculture, yesterday. Mr Martin explained that this action had been found desirable on account of the fact that the Government is at present completing consideration of its policy of guaranteed prices, and it was thought undesirable to put into force regulations which might subsequently be found to conflict with that policy or to hamper its working. Somewhat similar circumstances also obtained in regard to export marketing, added the Minister, and the Government has further requested that the visit to England of the board’s deputy-chairman, Mr C. P. Agar, to inaugurate the export marketing control scheme recently propounded by the board, should be postponed in order that Mr Agar may be available in New Zealand for consultation with the Government in the completion of its plans.
