AUSTRALIAN WHEAT
4000 TONS TO ARRIVE ON SATURDAY (United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, April 20. Four thousand tons of Australian wheat is due to arrive at Auckland on Saturday by the Kekerangu. Representing about 150,000 bushels, the shipment will be disposed of amongst Auckland millers. This announcement was made by Mr L. J. Schmitt, deputy-chairman of the Wheat Committee. He said representatives of the New Zealand flour millers had waited on the Wheat Committee and stressed their claims for the early importation of Australian milling wheat for their use. “In view of the fact that Neyz Zealand milling wheat for shipment to the North Island was being delayed by the late harvest and adverse weather, the request of the millers was acceded to,” said Mr Schmitt.
