WHAT CHAMPION SUGGESTS ~ AND HE ADDS WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT DEFER A BONDS OE SO MUCH PER ACRE TO ENCOURAGE \VHEAT-CII!OWIN'G UP THIS WAY. ■WHICH. IP GROWN. "CHAMPION" WILL BUY AT REGULATION PRICES PIXEL) BY GOVERNMENT, PLUS ALU CHARGES FROM SOUTH? THE EFFICIENCY BOAKD (To this Editor ‘‘N.Z. Times/' Wellington.) Sir,-—Liko most innovations it will have an arduous task to perform if tho Dominion's maximum contribution to tho Empire is unknown. Doubtless single nieu are better replaced by married from the Second Division, and if the second iis to bo called up there will only be left old men with the assistance of women to work our farms and industries. It, is obvious this disastrous war will be won with the stomach, and it is essential that its maximum supply should be, kept up. For example, in the North Island every available acre of land should be put down in wheat, as it can grow j list as rood quality as comes from the South, and if some cron s should not bo milling quality it would do for fowl feed, and relievo' the drawings on .milling quality; as a rule there is very litilo difference in the price of the two qualities. Tile next trouble will be: How are u e going to got it sown and harvested without labour? A Southern gentleman has suggested that female labour be utilised on our country roads (in place of male) on horseback, armed with rakes to rake into the ruts loose stones. Up this way we have rills and pits and no loose stones, and during the winter mouths the necessary _ requisites would bo a diving suit, junior dredge, or a mud scoop, which would not catch on witli women, though it might 'be a recreation as mud polo. Still I think for outdoor work growing wheat_ or potatoes would be more, to their liking.—l am, etc., P. VIRTUE. Auckland, March 17th, 1917. THE New ijeauand nniMFS, eav Zealand A hues.
