FIXED PRICE FOR MAIZE SURPLUS
FARMERS who entertained any alarm at the growing possibility of a serious surplus in maize at the end of the present season will welcome the assurance given by the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. J. G. Barclay, that the Government would be prepared to take over the whole of the balance at a fixed rate. Serious misgivings have been felt throughout the Bay at .the slowness of the maize market owing to the preference given to imported grain, and the recent .meeting of the Primary 'Production Council in Whakatane made it very obvious that growers had every reason to fear that a slump might eventuate which would leave the: majority with stocks on hand, loaded cribs and a deteriorating asset which threatened to become a dead loss. Now, however with the Minister's guarantee it can be felt with every degree of confidence that all maize will either be disposed of in. the usual market,, or given an assured sale by virtue of Government appropriation at a fair rate.
