The need for conserving all sacks and woolpacks is emphasized by Mr. R. B. Tennent,-Director of Primary Production, in a circular to primary production councils. Mr. Tennent explained that the Japanese occupation of Burma and their influence in the Indian Ocean had created a difficult position in regard to all jute goods. He said that New Zealand had a use for every sack that could be saved. All unwanted sucks should be returned to sack merchants, who would pay the market value for them. Even old sacks were of use, said Mr. Tennent, and those t.oo ragged for use could be broken up by flock mills.
