FARM PRODUCTION.
URGENCY OF EXPANSION. Per Press Association;:' DUNEDIN. June 4. In his presidential address at I lie conference of the Otago Provincial Council of the Farmers’ Union, Mr R. S. Thompson said therA must.be no limit to the Dominion’s production in war, and the State should make it a. national affair by providing every farmer with the means of increasing his production. Britain depended on overseas for 60 per cent, of her food; her supplies from Scandinavia and the Low Countries were cut,, and she had four million more mouths to feed than in the last war, plus hundreds of. thousands of refugees. There was ample labour in New Zealand capable of diversion to production ; nothing must stand in the way of its use.
