CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME PREFERRED
MARKETING VEGETABLES (P.A.) Hastings, March 8. Proposals for a Dominion-wide cooperative vegetable-marketing scheme, covering all classes cf vegetables, were placed before a well-attended meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Commercial Gardeners’ Society by the president, Mr. A. H. Waterson, as an alternative to the Government proposal to operate a contract system covering only selected growers and basic vegetables. The meeting supported a co-opera-tive system under which growers would, through their own organisation, be permitted to deal either direct with the nubile or through chain stores. Failing Government approval of the growers’ proposals, it was decided to encourage the Government to establish a comprehensive contract system.
