The necessity for increased production of agricultural and pastoral commodities was strongly emphasised by the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. Lee Martin, in a statement to-day.

"The Government has decided to appoint a Council of Primary Production, over which I shall preside," Mr. Lee Martin said. "It will be entrusted with the co-ordination of efforts of primary producers on an organised basis throughout the Dominion. I expect to be in a position within a few days to Announce the personnel of the council and subsidiary organisations and to outline their functions."
