Mr Bishop said it was suggested that better attention should be paid to the loedon” m' truckr, and that the bot;..;n ■nv of <arks should be stood on end. Fen err -houki see that all sacks woie properly sewn, and were not overweigh - , as “they would be penalised on both road and rail transport for overweight sacks, It was also recommended that grain should be stored in the country as much as possible.
