MARKETING OF WHEAT
ADVICE TO GROWERS *
(United Press Association)
CHRISTCHURCH, 11th January. " A statement setting out what has been done by the Wheat Committee set up by -the Ashburton Conference last month was made by Mr W. W. Mulholland at a meeting of the. North Canterbury Executive of the Farmers' Union. Following was the committee's advice to growers: That if the growers will refrain from rushing the market when there is any tendency for the market to sag, the value of their wheat for conversion into (lour under the circumstances as t'he.y exist with new sliding scale of duties should be 6s 3d, f.0.b., on Tuscan basis. Therefore, there is no need whatever for growers to accept less than that price, and the only reason why they will be required to accept less or why they will find themselves in the position of being offered"' less, will be that their endeavours to sell beyond the capacity of the market to absorb wheat is forcing the price down. Therefore, it is very desirable that all growers should make provision in one way or another for keeping their wheat off the market for a few months by provision of temporary storage on their farms. When necessary many farmers are quite able to store in straw in the paddock. Above all things, it is very desirable that growers should not get their "tails down."
