WHEAT GROWERS. ASHBURTON, December 23. The -Minister of Agriculture met n deputation representing the Execu-1 tives of tins Farmers’ Union in the wheat growing districts at Ashburton to-day. The deputation took the form of a round the table conference, whereat the delegates expressed the view that farmers represented should receive; the utmost possible encouragement to remain in the industry in or-, dor that New Zealand might not become entirely dependent upon outside sources for supplies of such essential commodities as bread and wheat. A request-was also made than an embargo on Australian flour bo continued until September next', in order that the local product should be used up by the millers, before Australian (lour is marketed in New Zealand. The Minister recalled the promises he made to the Wheat Conference in March last, that after February 28th next the Government control would cease, and that the embargo on importation would be lifted, and duties of Is 3d per bushel on wheat and L‘3 per ton' on flour would he imposed, and also that if circumstances warranted it a dumping duty on imported flour would be imposed. The Government, said the Minister, had no intention of revoking its anuouiued decision on any il these, points. All the necessary arrange men Is for the duties mentioned to bocome applicable from March 1 has been made. The relinquishment of the Government control of prices was a matter of settled policy. Therefore it was quite useless to ask lor a continuance of tlio embargo on the importation ’of Australian wheat and flour. The Minister pointed out, that, on present prospects, the farmers should receive considerably more than fis per bushel asked by them in February last. lie considered that for the present season, at any rate, wheat grow mg would he remunerative.
