FOOD FOR THE UNEMPLOYED
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I am trying to sell eight head of dairy cows at £1 each as I have no food for them. I shall probably be lucky it someone takes them off my place as a gift. There are numbers of other people in this district in the same position as myself. Could not the Government or somebody get hold of all these unsaleable animals and kill them and sell them to the unemployed at a small price? _ With such a quantity of cheap food in sight, it seems to me we are a long way from starving Then again, you can go to any slaughter yard and get sheeps’ and bullocks heads for nothing. I feed my fowls on yesterday’s bread which I buy from my baker at a small price because, as he says, people will not buy stale bread to eat. New Zealand teems with good food. Rabbits, cattle, sheep, deer, fish, —tonsi of it going to waste. We cannot all eat the “ prime cuts,” but there are heaps else to make out on if it can only be arranged for. —I am, etc. Cheap Tucker. Waimate, January 13.
