LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

On what do they base the assumption that the sheepfarmer can pay /noro this year that last, seeing that ho fs getting exactly the same price for wool? I think wages for shearing should remain as they are until the farmers are allowed to compete in the open market. If prices then are still high it will be time to talk of increases. Another matter—or rather hint: Every returned soldier that takesMip land should learn to shear and class wool. These are this 1 , items that run away with a good deal of the profits—l am, etc., A FARMER. ■
