FARMING AND PHOSPHATES
EXPLOITING NEW FIELDS ( & U N’S Parliamentary Reporter .) WELLINGTON, To-day. “The time is not far distant when New Zealand will require 400,000 tons of phosphatic fertilisers,” said Mr. T. G. Eliott, Oroua, in the House last night. Mr. W. S. Glenn, Rangitikei: At a reasonable price. Mr. Eliott: Well, we look to the Government to assist us there. He strongly advocated an increase of the Dominion's present allocation of 16 per cent, of the output of Nauru. Mr. A. M. Samuel, Ohinemuri: By purchasing other islands. Mr. Eliott: Well, if it is necessary to secure fresh fields, there are other islands carrying phosphates, and it would be good business on the part of the Government to see how it could secure options over the deposits. One ; might almost say that the future of the [farming industry is wrapped up in the regular and adequate supply of phosl phates.
