Abstract
IN an interesting speech delivered at the Taranaki Agricultural Society's Show on March 8, Lord Bledisloe, Governor-General of New Zealand, discussed the questions of the proposed dairy products quota to Great Britain and the removal of the embargo on the importation of pedigree live stock from Great Britain. Lord Bledisloe pointed out that, while the British farmer must insist that the dairy industry should be made a paying proposition, there is at the present time on the British market much imported foreign third grade dairy produce which is causing the slump in prices. It was agreed at Ottawa that, subject to the salvation from ruin of her own dairy farmers, Great Britain would not stand by and allow New Zealand farmers to suffer permanent impoverishment either in dairy farming or in any other branch of husbandry. The future of the Dominion depends upon its successful and progressive methods of pastoral husbandry; and while the standard of quality in New Zealand produce is already very high, it is being still further improved by scientific methods.
