WHEAT PRICES
Sir,—The leading article and a letter by Remembrance” on wheat in “The Press’’ to-day should arouse tire whole public to intense seriousness of the position. The troubles of watersiders, teachers, etc., are insignificant when compared with the hardships the farmers are made to endure just because they do not strike. The Wheat Board has not heloed. Necessary machinery and spare parts to mend their old, worn-out implements cannot be purchased except at most exorbitant prices. Their work has been so systematically and stupidly unpopularised that farmers are flocking to the town, aggravating the food problem. And what better and more satisfying work can be done for the welfare of everyone than farm work? So why not honour it? Why build so iflany factories when the food suppliers are bea^racted and driven to the towns’’ Why not encourage New Zealand to grow her own wheat?—Yours, etc., WHAT WILL THE FUTURE BE’ January 20. 1947.
