FARM TRACTORS
LICENCES TO IMPORT P.A. WELLINGTON, Nov. 12. The Customs Department to-day granted' licences for the importation from Britain of 1200 farm tractors in 1948 and 1500 in 1949. Three hundred are available for immediate shipment to New Zealand and should arrive in January. Mr R. G. Buckleton, chairman of the Aid for Britain Committee of the Federated Farmers, announcing this to-night, said the farmers were gratified that the authorities in Britain had arranged for the diversion of the tractors to the New Zealand market to assist the Dominion’s drive for increased food production. It was now up to the farmers to rise to the occasion.
