ADDRESS BY PRIME MINISTER. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 13. Speaking at the Agricultural and Pas- 1 toral Societies' Conference, which opened > to-day, the Premier congratulated thej members on the successful season "X- | perienced by the farming industry. In spite of the drought the output of the country had been maintained. Up to March 31. last the exports from New Zealand were valued at £27,000,00(1, t>7 per cent having come from the land. Exports showed an increase of ,04,000,(100 for the year, but this would possibly have been greater if it had not been for the unfortunate shortage of shipping,* which difficulty had now been overcome. The effect now would be to clear the frozen meat stores so that they would be able to start next sensjn. with a clean sheet. Mr. Massey expressed doubt whether there was sufficient wheat for our own requirements. If it were found necessary to import from Canada all arrangements had been made and there would lie no diflier r ltv. Next season lie believI'd there would he more than enough for our own use. The producer would get a fair price and the consumer would not have to pay as much for wheat and flour as lately.
