CANTERBURY POTATOES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day,
Arrangements for the shipment of additional potatoes to Australia have been altered because sufficient whiteskins are not available in North Canterbury. No potatoes will go from Lyttelton, and the whole consignment, how of 700 tons instead of the 1000 tons originally planned, will be bought in South Canterbury and shipped from Timaru.
South Canterbury is carrying large stocks of white-skins, several growers having upwards of four and five thousand sacks.
A substantial increase in the area of malting barley sown this season is indicated in the estimates of acreage. A conservative total is 30,000 acres, compared with about 22,000 acres last season.
