SOUTHLAND NEGLECTED.
POLITICAL ACTION. Speaking at the annual social of the Gore A. and P. Association, Mr. David McDougall, M.P., explained the object of a visit to Wellington from which he had just returned. He said (reports the "Southland Times") that an Otama farmer had grown 350 bushels of wheat which the millers had been prepared to purchase, but the transaction required to go through the Wheat Purchase Board, which would not sanction the purchase of Southland wheat. He had gone to Wellington to interview the Minister of Industries and Commerce ajul the chairman of the board, who had both expressed surprise that such a state of affairs existed. The chairman had immediately communicated with Christchureh, and in a few minutes had returned to report that the wheat had been bought.
