WILL NOT GUARANTEE PRICES FOR WHEAT.
N.S.W. MINISTER REPLIES TO FARMERS' DEPUTATION Uuited Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received November 28, 8.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, November 28. The Minister of Agriculture, Mr W. F. Dunn, replying to a deputation, said that the wheatgrowers had not tfie slightest hope of the Government granting 4s a bushel guarantee on the coming season’s crop. He pointed out that far too many farmers were in trouble owing to the high / price of wheat land. However, the Government hoped to provide a moratorium for those requiring it. This would regulate interest rates and give some relief in the early half of next year. He hoped to have a compulsory pool in operation next year. It was far better to have one selling compared with 18,000 competing against one another.
