APPEAL UNSUCCESSFUL.
LARGER BARLEY SOWING. PALKKRSTON NORTH, this day. Farmers' la the •euthern put of the North Island nave not responded as wall as expected to the appeal to grow from' 30,000 to 30.000 acres of barley as a war effort. A statement Issued by the district organiser of primary production, Mr. C. B. Hamblyn. shows that, of 31,000 acres allocated to various districts on the basis of plough able Und, type of farming, condition of postures and equipment available, fewer than 8000 seres will be sown. One reason given for the apathy displayed is that the farmer cannot ate s big a profit as he could make by carrying on as usual. The appeal was Diode especially to owners of fat lamb and mixed farms, because it was considered feasible that they could break up a paddock or two of old pasture, take oft a crop of barley and retow to bettor pasture next autumn.
