FARMERS’ MANURE
STATEMENT WANTED “At present farmers are the last in the pool for manure and much that is being frittered away on crops is unnecessary,” declared a member at yesterday’s Farmers’ Union meeting. He added: “We are now getting 70 per cent, of last year’s allowance, but the time is approaching when we will g*et only 20 per cent.” It was pointed out that wheat and flax growers and market gardeners all had priority over sh*ep and dairy farmers. Finally, it was agreed to forward a remit to the next Waikato sub-pro-vincial'conference urging that the Government make a definite statement regarding the fertiliser position and that liberal allowances be made available to farmers.
