Meat marketing was the subject of a two-days' conference at Aberystwyth last week, and great changes in the system of meat marketing were foreshadowed. The expected changes will be in the form of Marketing meat in the carcase, and not alive, as at present.
Mr. A. W. Ashby, M.A., of the Economies Department, University College, Aberystwyth, said he had recently returned from a six months' visit to America, where he had been studying the question. It was a sight to see the great part being played by motor lorries at the Chicago market and in other central markets. The centralization of our markets would mean the same kind of development.
Mr. W. H. Warman, of the University of Agriculture, said that motor lorries played a great part in bringing cattle together in the district for slaughter in Aberdeen, the carcases being subsequently sent to Smithfield Market, London.
