Protecting Farmers Against Doubtful Remedies
AMENDMENT TO LAW ASKED FOE Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. An amendment to the law providing absolute protection for the Department of Agriculture in issuing a report on any substance offered for agricultural purposes and for anyone publishing such a report in full has been asked for by the Dominion executive of tho New Zealand Farmers’ Union. It was stated at a recent meeting of the union executive that a compound put on the market in the Bouth Island was supposed to deal effectively with club-foot. It was tried iu one or two places and was considered successful. In the second year some farmers bought about £S worth of the compound and used it with their turnips. Investigations in Britain, however, revealed that the people who were supposed to bo marketing it knew nothing about it. It was considered such substances should be controlled under an Act similar to the Fertilisers Act. Air. Btuart Bim said the results had proved the substance to be of no use.
