SHEEP FARMING COMMISSION
SITTINGS DISCONTINUED [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 21. The Minister of Agriculture (Hou. Leo Martin) stated to-day that the sittings of the Sheep Farming Industry Commission have been discontinued. The commission had held sittings in Wellington, Palmerston North, and Wanganui, and had made inspections of typical sheep farming districts. A considerable volume of information had been acquired. It would probably take six months to complete the work of the commission as originally planned, the Minister said. In view of tho changed conditions brought about by the war it had been decided that it would be inappropriate to continue the inquiry. It was possible that new conditions might be created which would render inapplicable any conclusions that could be drawn from consideration of the conditions hitherto existing. The commission would submit by September 30 a brief report in general terms embodying its conclusions and recommendations regarding certain long-range aspects of matters included in its order of reference.
