GROWING OF WOMEN
Sir, —Noting G. E. Wright’s complaint about his question to the farmer in the street about wreatgrowing, I think the word “parasite” in conversation as stated would have been better unspoken. I have also heard this word used by certain classes of the community to the detriment politically of King and country; and I have been told that at Addington race meetings some of our chaps do not lose much time in bowing their hearts and lifting their hats when the band playa the National Anthepi. As Mr Robinson’s letter and Mr Gillespie’s and others’ views reveal a true picture of our drawbacks in wheatgrowing. Mr Wright will easily see that we cannot expect wheat to be cheap. But singing “hard times will come again no more” is not sufficient to keep the wolf from our door.—Yours, etc., JOHN ODGERS. Annat, October 26, 1948.
