STOCK FOOD TARIFF
REDUCTION SOUGHT (From Our Own Correspondent.) PALMERSTON NORTH, Friday. At this week’s meeting of the Manawatu A. and P. Association, it was decided to support the Hon. E. Newman in his endeavours to secure a reduction of the tariff on food for pigs and poultry into New Zealand. Such a reduction, stated Mr. A. M. Eliott, was urgently needed. “Why should the wheat-growers of Canterbury be protected and subsidised out of the Consolidated Fund?” asked Mr. J. M. Johnston. “The dairy farmer, who is harder hit, doesn’t get a subsidy.” Mr. M. A. Conway closed the discussion by commenting that the price for grain for the fattening of pigs and poultry was prohibitive because of the tariff.
