BAKERS’ CONTRIBUTION TO RESEARCH
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, December 20. At the request of the New Zealand Master Bakers and Pastrycooks’ Association, the contribution of bakers to the work of the Wheat (Research Institute is to be increased as from January 1, 1946, from to 21 per ton on the flour sold to bakers. This is being done by increasing from Is to Is Id per ton the levy mhde by the Wheat Committee on flour bought by the bakers.
An amendment to the Board of Trade (Wheat and Flour) Regulations, 1944, which was gazetted to-night and authorises this increase, also revises the section of the principal regulations dealing with the wheatgrowers’ compensation scheme. Hitherto it has been obligatory on every grower whose crop has suffered damage, from any of a number of causes specified to have his land occupied by the damaged crop until the normal time of harvest if he wishes to qualify for compensation. Tonight’s amendment gives the Wheat Committee some discretionary power, enabling it to permit the damaged crop to be ploughed under without being carried forward to the harvest. The land may thus, by agreement, be put to other use without the grower being deprived of compensation.
