In the Assembly Mr Downward moved the adjournment to discuss the action of the Wheat Board in selling below the market price. He said over five million, bushels had been sold to New Zealand at 5s 6d, to 5s whereas the price fixed for New Zealand growers was 6s 6d. New Zealand growers evidently found it unprofitable to grow wheat when the price given was 6s 6d. If New Zealand had not purchased in Australia, she would have had to pay 10s in Canada or United States.
