ASSURANCES WANTED
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
PALMERSTON N., This Day.
An aspect of the drive for increased production which is giving farmers concern is whether the Government will purchase the produce and also provide sufficient storage accommodation. When the matter was discussed by the Wellington Central executive of the Farmers' Union yesterday, it was decided to ask the Minister of Marketing for assurances. It was stated that unless the Minister could give assurances there would be a hold-up in March and April next, and it would be much better to urge farmers to grow hay and turnips to enable them to hold stock in the autumn instead of rape and barley for fattening purposes.
