A DEAL IN WHEAT.
JAPANESE PURCHASERS. Allegations of injustice by selling wheat to Japanese at a very low figure were made at; the annual meeting of the Netherton branch of the Farmers' Union on Saturday evening. Mr T. Considine said it had come under his notice that high grade wheat had been sold at a fraction over 5s per bushel to the Japanese Government. He maintained it was not fair that the public of New Zealand should bet compelled to pay 4d per lb for. bread while the Japanese were obtaining the finest of wheat at such, a low price. If there was any surplus: wheat it should be distributed among those who won the war, but instead the poultry farmers under the Soldier Settlement Scheme were paying 7s per bushel for wheat which was. not half the value of that sold to the Japanese Governmen ■
