POTATOES AND WHEAT WANTED
“Although you are breaking in land the work you are doing is not of sufficient importance to allow of your being retained on the land unless you produce more crops,” said Mr E. H. Murney, chairman of the Southland Armed Forces Appeal Board, to an appellant at the sitting of the board yesterday. The appellant said he had 500 sheep on the farm and 60 head of cattle. He had only 18 acres under cultivation. The appeal was adjourned sine die on the appellant promising to plant an area of potatoes. Mr Murney said that New Zealand had plenty of mutton, but wanted other classes of foodstuffs. To another farmer, whose appeal was adjourned sine die, Mr Murney suggested that he should grow a greater area of wheat and a smaller area of oats.
