SEED POTATOES
NO SURPLUS THIS SEASON HEAVY YIELD INDICATED During the past week the weather in Otago has again been favourable and crops and pastures are looking well. Fowl wheat has been received from Australia and the market will be reasonably well supplied for the next month or two. Deliveries of milling wheat have, of course, now finished for the season. Practically no oats are offering. Al* though the North Island .is a strong buyer there is no surplus, and all oats held in store, in Dunedin are:: required. for the local trade. ■ ~ Chaff is in ample supply and only lines of good quality are readily saleable. Sufficient potatoes are available to meet all requirements. There will be no surplus of seed potatoes this season. Potatoes now above the ground are looking well and with the longer growing season—made possible by the opportunity for earlier 1 : planting than has been the case for the last two °r three years—there is every hope that a reasonably heavy yield will be available. . . ’-.Y > The market for small seeds is quiet with very little business passing and only isolated inquiries for white clover, browntop, fescue and ryegrass, with the 7 result that prices, remain steady at recent rates.
