BRAN AND POLLARD SCARCE
POSITION IN WELLINGTON (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, February 5. Unable to get supplies of pollard many New Zealand poultry-keepers, it is stated, may soon be forced to drastically reduce their flocks. This predicament is made worse in many cases because the flocks were recently enlarged in response to the Government’s appeal for increased production. As an alternative feed stock meal has been imported from Australia, but is, the poultry-keepers say, unsuitable, as well as too expensive. Cattle and pig farmers are also affected by the shortage of pollard. Wellington merchants have had practically no pollard for three months. Over the last year they say they have been able to obtain less than a quarter of their requirements. Today there is not a bag to be obtained in Wellington. Bran is also very scarce. For the shortage they blame the Government control If merchants had been left to operate free from State interference there would be sufficient supplies today they say.
