AUSTRALIAN WHEAT

Sir, —Anyone with a knowledge of the wheat position must agree with “Old Farmer” that there is just only one way to get more wheat grown, and that is to pay for it. Why pay 15s l|d for Australian wheat, as indicated in your leading article this morning, and only 8s 9d to growers here? Merchants hammered away at the Labour Government on this theme for years. Surely the National Government won’t be so dumb, and keep on appealing to the patriotism of the farmer in an effort to increase the acreage.* Merchants and farmers alike are holding thousands of sacks of oats and barley from the 1949 harvest, which to-day are hard to sell. Now we have the 1950 crop tumbling in, and the same conditions exist; but the position is aggravated owing to shortage of storage. What about a home for the 1951 harvest?—Yours, etc., , OLD MERCHANT. January 31, 1950.
