PRICE OF FERTILISER
Increase In North Island (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 20. The Price Tribunal has gazetted an order relating to superphosphate sold in the North Island, the effect of which is to return to the “sacks in” basis. This step has been taken at the request of numerous farmers and farmers organisations. The “sacks extra” basis was found unsatisfactory, particularly in the case of back country properties where it was almost impossible to return the bags and receive the rebates. The previous order fixed the price to farmers at £3/9/6 a ton net on trucks, ex-works, sacks being charged extra. The present order fixes the price at £4/-/- a ton net on trucks, ex-works, sacks in. A rebate on bags returned within 90 days will be allowed in respect of purchases made before the issue of the new order.
