MORE MAIZE MUST BE GROWN IN N.Z.
(P.A.) Wellington, Oct. 29. In view of the general world shortage of other cereals it was unlikely that the demand for maize would be fully met for several years to come, said the Director of the Internal Marketing Division, Mr. R. P. Fraser, who is also chairman of the Maize Marketing Committee, to-day. In an endeavour to encourage the growing of maize members of the committee, with representatives of the Agriculture Department and Internal Marketing Division had held meetings of growers in districts mainly concerned and had met with considerable success. It was hoped the area lo be sown th’s year would show an increase of 3000 acres. This year's crop had been rather better than expected earlier. So far, 50 000 sacks had been distributed. It was honed the total would reach to wiiinn 10 per cent, of the previ r.s year’s crop.
