MIDDLEMEN'S PROFITS.
[Pj?b Pbess Association J "Wellington, May 2. The following communication baa been received by the Premier from the Secretary of State for the colonies. " Great quantities of meadow foxtsll grass are growing In Finland, mainly with the object of raising seed from this plant. It would appear tbat the seed is almost entirely aold to Germany, and there 3 shipped to Australia where it is aaid to bo In great demand for sowing large areaa of meadow, and other land on whfoh cheep are pastured. In all probability Australians and British exporters of seed are ' Dot aw5M that meadow foxtail seed ia largely prodnaed In tha Grand Duohy, and that they oooJd purchase it from flirtot sources at of course lower prices fban those they pay to German intermediaries. It is desfrVolo therefore m my opinion that publicity should be given to •he circumstances m order that oar •xporteis of grass needs, and Australian l*nd owners should ba able to reap the benefit now apparently enpyed by German seed merchants m this particular branoh of trade,"
