THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT
UNDERTAKE T0 BUY FEED. THEY UNDERTOOK TO TRY AND GET WHOLESALERS AND FARMERS A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER, TO GET THEM T0 CO-OPERATE. AND WITH THAT VIEW GATHER- ED ORDERS FROM THE INSTI- TUTES, PLACING THEM WITH THE WHOLESALERS. WHO AGREED TO HANDLE FEED ON A FIVE PER CENT. PROFIT WHEN THE FEED WAS TAKEN OFF THEIR HANDS AT ONCE AND PAID FOR IN CASH. ORDERS WERE NOT SENT IN BY THE INSTITUTES WHEN FEEDS WERE CHEAP; AND AFTER_THE PRICES WENT UP IT WAS HARD TO PROCURE FEED. BUT THE DEPARTMENT DISAP- POINTED NO ONE-THEY DID NOT ORDER FOR INDIVIDUALS. _AND ANY INDIVIDUALS THAT DID NOT RECEIVE THE AMOUNT THEY PLACED WITH THEIR INSTITUTES MUST LOOK TO THE INSTITUTES. lt was :1 mutter Iictwccn themselves and their institutes. ln thc 'case of the mcmbcr from Victoria, who said he could have got bran at $23, thr- Dcpnrinirnt had no ortlcr i`rom him; his order, ii' placed, must have been with the other members of the insti tutc. in that particular case they were told to buy at $23 it' they could get it at that amount.
