SEED RAISING INDUSTRY
A COMMISSION INTERESTED At a sitting of the Disabled Soldiers’ Employment Commission in Dunedin the chairman, Mr J. S. Barton, S.M , said one of the things the commission was vitally interested in was the seed-raising industry. Recently a Government paper mentioned that £350,000 a year was sent out of New Zealand a year for seeds. Seeds were originally sent out from the Dominion in bulk, and they came back in small packets, at greatly increased prices.
Air D l . Tannock, who was giving evidence, said that in addition to that it was frequently six months from the finie the seeds' left New Zealand till they came back. That was not as it should be, and many seeds died on the voyage.
