COMPENSATION ARRANGED
SOUTHLAND POTATO GROWERS P.A. INVERCARGILL, Oct. 15. Compensation estimated at about £3500 will be paid to potato growers in Southland in terms of the Government’s undertaking to take over all potatoes of fair average quality remaining unsold at the end of October. At a meeting held to-day between officials of the Internal Marketing Department, representatives of the Department of Agriculture, the Invercargill Grain and Produce Merchants’ Association, and the Government grader, the procedure to be adopted was outlined. It was made clear that the Government was only interested in potatoes grown under contract through merchant brokers. Those contracts call for f.a.q. potatoes, and compensation will be paid on the proportion of that quality in each line.
