Potato Board Funds (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 27.

The Government has also accepted the board’s recommendation that the following schedule of prices a ton be included in the 1966-67 contract: Suttons and King Edward, South Island, £l4; North Island, £l6; Katahdin, £l3, £l5; all other varieties, £B, £lO.
