LAND AND WHEATGROWING
Sir, —We read that interested bodies are concerned with the drift away from wheatgrowing in New Zealand, but when one takes a motor drive ?^ OU TO d the . farn * from Darfield to the Port Hills and down to .Timaru and sees all the best of our wheatgrowing land under trotting horses and stud farms, the question is easily answered. Any farms that are offered for sale nowadays are bought up by wealthy business people, hydro works constructors, and big building concerns, some holding as many as three or four farrfs while the farmers’ sons and farm workers stand by full of resentment.—Yours, etc., FED-UP FARMERS’ SONS. August 27, 1954.
