Nelson, the well-known Whangarei stockbreeder and judge, who. returned to Auckland by the Ulimaroa after judging at'the National Show at Brisbane last month. “Potatoes are practically rationed at the hotels,” Mr Nelson said. “Even at -ae best establishments they can only be had in limited quantities. Various Women’s Associations have declared a- boycott on Australian potatoes owing to the refusal of the Government to allow importations from. New Zealand,' but they are still selling at £22 a ton.”
