FODDER FOR AUSTRALIA
PURCHASES IN NEW ZEALAND (Rec. 7 p.m.) CANBERRA, May 22. Two Coipmonwcalth experts will go 1o New Zealand this week to buy fodder to ease the shortage of stock food caused in Australia by the drought. One of the experts is Mr Noel Barrett, a New South Wales property owner, who is an adviser to the Department of Commerce and Agriculture. The name of the second expert has not yet been announced. “Arrangements were made some time ago to secure New Zealand fodder,” said the Federal Minister of Commerce, Mr J. Scully, announcing the appointment, “ but supplies were held up indefinitely because of a fire on the vessel carrying the shipment to Australia.”
It is reported from Perth that produce merchants in Western Australia say they will not sell more fodder to the eastern States until they are paid better prices.
