AID FOR DAIRYFARMER
WIRE AND MACHINERY PRODUCTION DRIVE (P.A.) AUCKLAND, March 9. •'it is quite obvious that there will bo a shortage of dairy products in the United Kingdom for an appreciable time and our mission has been designed to ensure that Britain can expect exports from New Zealand and Australia for the next few years, said the controller of dairy products for the British Ministry of Food. Mr. ,T \v Rodden, who with Professor E. Capstick. also of the Ministry, has been visiting New Zealand.
The discussions here had proved very satisfactory, said Mr. Rodden. Thev saw that New Zealand farmers were not producing to their maximum because of the shortage of labour and materials, but when Mr. Rodden and Professor Capstick returned to England they would do what they could to ensure that larger supplies of wire and essential farm machinery were exported to New Zealand. Professor Capstick said he was rather surprised at the large areas of pasture which had “gone back.” This might have been because of the wartime manpower shortage, he added. Both officials left by air for Australia today.
