In the course of a aeries ot addresses to farmers a Auckland last week, Mr A. Schmitt, secretary of the Auckland Provincial Farmers' Union, strongly advocated the purchase of British-made goods. Had the policy been carried out in the past, he declared, the present war would have been a simpler proposition. The trade which Germany now lost would quite possibly, if they were not careful be diverted to another country, which thev would help to build up and might have to fight again. In other words, they must guard against the "eation of potential enemies. Mr Schmitt also urged that something shouM be done to regulate supplies of chaff and potatoes, because there was either a feast or a famine. The union had done good work for the breeders and graziers' branch of the organisation and he advocated the application of the same methods in regard to the growers of chaff and potatoes.
