(special to "the press.")
AUCKLAND, June 3. The wheat supply of the Dominion was ;i question touched on by the .Minister of Agriculture (tho Hon. W. Nosworthy) in the course of an interview yesterday. He said h-j could eive 110 information regarding the amount available for requirements beyond vhat had already been published. Until the threshing returns came in. he could not make any statement on the position. So far as the supply of fowl wheat was concerned, he said it was absolutely impossible for the Government to' find enough to go round between now and next harvest, and poultrymen would be placed in the position of having to fall hick on oats, potatoes, and maize. "This points to the fact," said Mr Nosworthy, "that if t'ne country does not grow eunuch wheat to supply our needs, we will be placed on a starvation basis."
