FARM, FACTORY, AND WHARF

NO SLACKING ANYWHERE ACUTE HEEDS Of BRITAIN [Per United Press Association,] AUCKLAND, September 22. “ Britain will require every pound of meat, dairy produce, and wool that New Zealand can produce, and all methods to increase production of war necessities must be ardently pursued,” said the chairman of directors, Mr H. E. Worsp, at the annual meeting of the Auckland Farmers’ Freezing Company. “ A great responsibility rests on every New Zealander to spare no effort to asist the Mother country in this tirao of acute need. On the farm, the factory, and the wharf, and in all other directions there will be no room for the slacker. All work must be honourably and loyally on. _ The farmers must be supplied with willing workers, and there must be no laxity of effort at the dairy factory and the freezing works and the wharf. The quickest turn round must be given overseas vessels. The shortage of ships, delays from the convoy system, and dislocationof food supplies from neutral countries make this imperative. I am glad that in the company s permanent staff are men of the right calibre who are keen to serve the community to the very best of their ahility Mr Worsp explained that during the war the surplus of the principal primary products above our own requirements was to be puchased by the New Zealand Government for sale to the British Government at prices to be agreed upon by the two Governments.
