WHEAT GROWERS DEFEND EXISTING PROTECTION
WORK FCkk MANY HANDS Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. Tho following resolution on wheat duties was carried at tho annual meeting of the Canterbury A. and P. Association to-night. “That any reduction in the protection afforded to wheat growers in tho South Island by altering the existing duties on wheat and flour is unfair and unequitable, as the present duties provide the only means of working our arable land to capacity, which in turn provides work for large numbers of farm workers and mill hands at fair wages and thus ensures employment for many who would have to be provided for by government jobs and that the incoming committee should associate itself with other South Island organisations for t‘ho purpose of ventilating the matter and resisting any attempt to alter the - existing duties.”
