USE OF £4,500,000 MEAT SURPLUS
SUGGESTED FERTILISER DEVELOPMENT (New Zealand Press Association) MASTERTON, Feb. 18. Every farmer had a right to consideration in the disposal of the fund, said Mr L. T. Daniell, a former member of the Marginal Lands Board, discussing the surplus £4,500,000 not to be paid out this year from the recentlycompleted Dominion meat contract with Britain. “We are short of fertiliser and sulphur and transport and sacks,” he said. “Why not put the millions into a fertiliser development account and ask equivalent amounts from the Dairy and Wool Boards? We could then aim at the building of a pyrites-using plant at Auckland to provide all tpe sulphuric acid necessary for the three fertiliser works in that area.”
