MANURE RATIONING
WIDER FIELD URGED Replying to a remit from the Auckland District Council of Primary Production, the National Council advised that the rationing of all phosphatic manures was not considered advisable in view of the immense difficulties involved in organising such a scheme and the fact that the Government's policy was incorporated in the system of rationing at present in force. The main purpose of this rationing was to conserve supplies of imported rock phosphate.
At a meeting this morning members of the Auckland council expressed dissatisfaction with this view. It was pointed out that it was now impossible for the average farmer to get supplies of some manures, although quantities were available.
On the motion of Mr. A. Best the council decided that "Seeing that the rationing of imported rock phosphates places a greater demand on other phosphatic manures and it would appear that these are not being equitably distributed. we would again stress the necessity of rationing all manures with a phosphatic content."
