POULTRY RAISING
AT SATURATION POINT. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, July 12. To a deputation from the New Zealand Lands Development League expressing a desire for the extension of Lands Settlement the Hon. A. D. McLeod, Minister of Lands, remarked that poultry raising and other small farming pursuits in the Dominion had reached saturation point. Mr W. J. Holdsworth, president: “How can you claim that when eggs are sold at 3/6 per dozen during the winter months?” Mr Holdsworth further commented that in America the chicken was a general item of food, while here only at banquets and such occasions did the people of this country have a chance of eating chicken. Mr Holdsworth also urged that we should be sending more pork to Britain. He urged the setting up of a board of inquiry to make recommendations to the Government on the vitally important matter of Land Settlement.
