FARMERS' PROTEST.
AUCKLAND/ October ]3. . The provincial executive of the Farmers' Union passed a stronglyworded resolution protesting most emphatically against the continued interference by me Government with prices such as is proposed with reference to the supply of butter for local consumption. The resolution contained the following:—"We fall attention to the fact that the farmers' cost of production has enormously increased. A comparison of the present with former prices is most misleading. We contend that tbe cost of living has been affected by the general rise in prices of commodities, and we fail to see why butter should be singled out for special treatment."
