FUNDS FOR RESEARCH
LEVY ON WOOL SUPPORTED By Telegraptl—Pres* Association CHRISTCHURCH, September 26. Support for the proposed levy on wool to provide a fund for research into sheep breeding, feeding and management was expressed at the meeting of the executive of the North Canterbury Farmers’ Union to-day. Mr W. W. Mulholland said he thought that farmers ought to be glad to accept the Bill. The contention that it was unfair to place the whole burden on wool was unsound. Every sheep grew wool and wool formed a better basis for the levy than carcases. In New Zealand during the last 10 years 21,000.000 sheep had been lost by farmers, and it was possible that very great benefits would come from research. Mr J. D. Hall, while he approved the Bill, said he was not optimistic about its adoption by the House. The Prime Minister seemed to think everything was all right and it was unfortunate that he did so. Mr Hall said he did not think Mr Forbes cared whether the Bill went through or not. The discuss!..n closed without a resolution being carried.
