LIMING
Sir, —I listened to-night with great interest to the talk on Southland by Mr R. H. Bevin. He emphasised the excellence of Southland’s pastures,_ due to heavy liming. If Canterbury is to take its place in food production we must do likewise. Most farmersi will say "Give us the lime and we will apply it”; hence my letter. We have limestone almost at our door, and yet because of some regulations brought down in the'dim past lime is not available to us. In Ashburton County man who is prepared to go far in meeting our needs if he could only get that obsolete regulation altered. The Farmers’ Union, Production Council, and all other responsible bodies impress upon us the need for increased production. If they would only exert their powers on increasing tenfold the supply of lime they would certainly justify their existence.—Yours, etc., A. D. McLAUCHLAN. Mount Hutt, June 8, 1944.
