NEXT SEASON’S WHEAT
GOVERNMENT CONTROL FAVOURED. (Pan Unttko Pnxaa Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 22. A lengthy discussion was held at a meeting of the executive of the North Canterbury Farmers’ Union on the question whether next season’s wheat should be under Government control or whether there should be a frej market. The various branches had been*asked to give their views, and the majority were in favour of Government control. The importance of the dominion producing its own foodstuffs was stressed in the discussion; also the fact that if payable prices were not forthcoming wheatgrowing land would be devoted to other purposes and the dominion would be dependent on outside sources for its wheat supply. It was eventually agreed, by 10 votes to three, “that the opinion of this meeting is that the Government should be asked favourably to consider the controlling of wheat for another year by fixing the minimum price.”
