AN ILL-CONSIDERED PROPOSAL. SACRIFICING THE WHEAT SUBSTANCE FOR THE EGG SHADOW. It is suggested in the Unemployment Committee's Report that if the duty on fowl wheat were removed the • poultry farmer could get supplies of wheat cheaper than he can to-day, permitting a greater number of people to be employed in the poultry industry, and that a great and profitable export business in eggs could thus be worked up. ... . The actual position is that in van terbury tp-day, where poultry farmers can secure wheat at the same . price 03 it would land from Australia in the North Island duty free, the Canterbury poultryman finds it impossible to make -the business pay, and as late as Monday, July H a deputation waited on the Prime Minister in Christchurch urging the Government to grant a subsidy on eggs exported. This subsidy, if granted, must be paid by the taxpayer, but supposing greatly increased numbers of people engage in the poultry business, how is the industry to bo conducted profitably when those at present in it cannot make a decent living? Throughout the whole of New Zealand to-day there are under 200 persons engaged in making a living out of poultry keeping, according to official figures supplied by Mr. E. J. Fawcett, Farm Economist, of the Department of Agriculture. There are between 6000 and 7000 wheat growers. Are all these, wheatgrowers who do the heavy and hazardous part of the work of providing) food'for. the nation> to be sacrificed in a vaint endeavour to -build an export trade in eggs?—Published by -arrangement.
