FERTILISER SUPPLIES IN SOUTH WESTLAND
IMPROVEMENT SOUGHT (From Our Parliamentary Reporter)
WELLINGTON, August 31. A request that he should make efforts lo ensure that South Westland farmers received adequate and regular supplies of lime and fertiliser was made to the Minister of Agriculture (Mr K. J. Holyoake) by Mr J. B. Kent (Opposition, Westland) in the House of Representatives today. A further question was whether the Minister would recognise South Westland as a special back-country area, so that farmers might benefit from the full fertiliser subsidy. At present, said Mr Kent, the South Westland farmers were dependent on the varying space available in Railway Road Services vehicles for the transport of lime from the railhead, and m spite of the difficulty and expense of that transport, they had never received the full subsidy.
