No Wire Shortage After June, 1919
“Unless anything unforseen happens we fully expect to overtake all fencing wire shortages by June, 1949,” states a message received at the recent meeting of the Aid-for-Britain national council from Wire Distributors, Ltd. The council chairman, Mr. F. P. Walsh, in making the information known, said it would be good news for farmers anxious to bring new land to cultivation or to subdivide present holdings in order to increase their production. It was stated that there was a shipment of 2427 tons of all kinds of wire, principally from Belgium, on the s.s. Kaikoura which recently arrived at Auckland. The quantities booked for shipment or already landed were:—No. 8 gauge plain galvanised, 10.158 tons; other gauges, 2337 tons; barbed, 10,405; hay bailing, 2183 tons.
