Hill-Country Farmers, N.Z's Forgotten Men
[Special to “Northern Advocate.”} AUCKLAND, This Day. “Millions of acres of land in New Zealand, 60 per cent, of the total area, are slipping back because of the difficulties of farmers on second and third class land, chiefly hill country,” said Mr. A. Briscoe Moore, of Whangarei, at the annual conference of the Auckland Farmers’ Union today. Hill-country farmers were the “forgotten men” in the Dominion today, he declared, but® their areas offered the greatest possibilities of expanding production. - Most of the wool produced in the Dominion came from the hill country, and it was the only export that could be exchanged for war materials’ from the United States. It was vitally important that the production of wool should be increased.
