WHEAT AND FLOUR DUTIES FREE CARRIAGE OF MANURES (THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, To-day. Two important agricultural questions were asked m the House of Representatives this afternoon, one dealing with wheat and flour and the other with the carriage of manures. Mr. C. A.

Taverner) if the Government would take steps during the recess to inquire into the duties on wheat and flour, with the possibility of reducing them. Mr. C. H. Clinkard (Rotorua) intends asking the Minister of Agriculture (the Hon. G. W.
