WHEAT DUTIES
Sir, —It is not only the price of bread that is in dispute, because, no doubt, Auckland women like to send their 5d or 6d a week down to Canterbury to keep that province so free from tlio world depression, but it is a different question with tlio poultry fanner, who has sunk his little all in his farm and is facing ruination. Perhaps "Bonnie Play" can explain why it is that poultry farmers have to pay as high a price, and often higher, for weather-stained, shrivelled, inferior wheat as best milling wheat fetches, and which, of course, they cannot buy. I can honestly say that the only good fowl wheat 1 have been able to obtain for the last two years is the wheat recently imported from Australia. Fair Play.
