SHEEPFARMING INQUIRY
SITTINGS DISCONTINUED
(ENER AL REPORT PR A NNE D
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. Lee Martin, stated to-day that sittings of the sheepi'arming industry commission had been discontinued.
The commission had held sittings in Wellington, Palmerston North and Wanganui and had made inspections of tjpical fheepfarmipg districts.
A considerable volume of information had been acquired.
It would probably take six months to complete the work of the commission as originally planned, said the Minister. In view of the changed conditions brought about by the war, it had been decided it would be inappropriate to continue the inquiry. It was possible that new conditions might be created which would render inapplicable any conclusions that could be drawn from consideration of the conditions hitherto existing.
The commission would submit by September 30 a brief report in general terms embodying its conclusions and recommendations regarding certain long-range aspects of matters included in its order of reference.
