SYDNEY, Nov. 3. The Liquid Fuel Control Board has given oil companies permission to release 10,000 gallons of petrol to wheat farmers at Moree after they asked Mr Chifley for fuel with which to star't liarvesting. Moree, where harvesting i began this week, is the wealthiest district in New South Wales, and it had been feared that a great loss of wheat would be experienced owing to the shortage of petrol. The issue of petrol 'will enable earriers to resume transport from the paddocks to the railway today^ but 10,000 gallons is not expected to last long in an area with at least 125,000 acres under wheat.
