“ I have just been on a trip through most of the South Island south of Christchurch, and I have never seen conditions looking so prosperous,” said Mr A. D. M‘Leod (Minister Of Industries and Commerce) to a Lyttetlon Times reporter the other evening. “ Wool, meat and grain are all bringing good prices, and the grain crops are good. In Southland and Otago the turnip crops are particularly good.” At one dairy factory in the south, the Minister was told that the whole of the season’s output had been sold at a price which would assure a payment of at least Is 8d per pound for butter-fat.
