THE BOWLERS’ BALL Arrangements are now well in hand for the Bulls Bowling Club’s annual ball, which will be held on Tuesday, August 8. A special meeting of ladies and men interested will be held this evening. N t Z. FARMERS’ UNION Air A. W. Amon presided over a fairly good attendance of members of the Farmers’ Union, held in Bulls on Monday afternoon, and introduced Air C. G. C. Dermer, a member of the Dairy Control Board, who addressed the meeting. Air Dormer outlined the activities of the Export Board, in regulating shipments of produce, inspection of ships to see if they were in fit condition to handle produce, and to, secure reductions in freight, charges. The actual saving in freight costs since the inception of the Export Board in 1924 amounted to something like £355,000. He quoted figures to show that the rates for New Zealand produce were much lower than those which the Australian exporters had to pay. Owing to larger exports of butter into the Old Country it was necessary to expand the market there. Most New Zealand butter is sold in the south of England, and it was the intention of the Dairy Control Board to conduct an extensive advertising campaign in those district's where New Zealand butter is practically unknown. This would mean an increase in the levy, but the extra cost was well justified. The merchants in England. he added, are quite willing to cooperate with the New Zealand producers to overcome the difficulties that are at present being experienced in marketing. ]t was never more necessary than it is now for the industry to stand together, and by united effort rehabilitate the market. The English merchants were of the opinion that if shipments had been regulated there would have been no necessity for the price of butter to have fallen below 90s. At the present time Australia, which is our strongest competitor, was dumping big shipments on the English market. and forcing the price down. The Australian shipments should be regulated in tho same manner as the New Zealand shipments, and the Sow Zealand Board is at. present arranging to discuss the matter with the Australian Boarfl. A number of questions were answered and on the motion of the chairman the speaker was accorded a hearty vote of. thanks. ~ PERSONAL Air Ken. Green of Oliakea, has returned home after spending a holiday in North Taranaki.
