Galloway Cattle For N.Z.
Witness Advocates
AUCKLAND, Tue. (P.A.)—To give evidence before the New Zealand Commission on the sheep industry, the chairman of the Galloway Cattle Breeding Society of Great Britain (Mr A. B. Duncan) arrived by air today. He will remain in the Dominion about three months, studying farmers’ conditions and advising on breeding. “I am most interested in the hill country,” he said. Galloway cattle were most suited to high country. British farmers supplied more than 50 per cent, of the country’s needs today. compared with about 30 per cent, before the war, he added—although, of course, the people of Britain now were eating less.
Provision had been made under recent legislation' for taking over farms which were not run economically, but it was more a threat to force increased production than a reality. He thought many areas would revert to the state with the death of owners without heirs.
