COMING ABUNDANCE OF VEGETABLES
Forecast Of Minister
"If wc get a normal growing summer there should tie an abundance of vegetables in New Zealand this season,” said tlie Minister of Agriculture. Mr. Barclay, in Gisborne. We should not be short of potatoes during Hie coming year, he said. On the approximate figures he had to date there were 23,000 acres being grown conimercially this season compared with 16,000 acres last season. ’ Nobody a year ago could have foreseen the demand there would have been this year, for Japan’s entry into the war had upset our internal economy. The Army was growing 3000 acres of vegetables for itself. Where contracts could be lot to commercial growers that bad been done and only where commercial growers could not grow vegetables had the Government done so. Asked if vegetables would be any cheaper, the Minister replied: “You cannot expect them to be cheaper.”
