PRIMARY PRODUCTION
Sir, —It seems to me that the policy of this Government is to allow the woolgrower the full benefit of his wool cheque to the detriment of the other primary industries. I would suggest that the money received for the wool {hat is being sent to Russia be paid direct to the wheatgrower and the dairy farmer. We could be then more assured of plenty of bread and butter for our Children and do away with rationing. With more wheat being grown we might have pollard to help the fat pig producer and poultry farmer. The cost of breaking up land and other costs that go with cropping are terrific—hence the trend to more wool production.—Yours, etc., MILDEW. January 18, 1949.
