SALE OF SURPLUS WHEAT.
MINISTER’S INTENTIONS. TERM OF EXPORT EMBARGO. In reply to a question in the House, the Hon. W. Nosworthy said he hoped soon to make a definite statement about the prospects of allowing smutty wheat to be exported. He had come to the conclusion that the sooner they could get .it away the better. An Hon. Member: Are you dressing it before it goes? Mr. Nosworthy: No. We have not the machinery to dress it with. They have in England. A member asked about undergrade wheat.
Mr. Nosworthy said he had instructed the graders to deal as generously as they could with the farmers when they were grading. At the same time, he had are sponsibility to the taxpayers, and he had to see that they got value for their money. He had asked for an overhaul of all wheat, and he did not think there was much cause for complaint. In answer to another question, Mr. Nosworthy said a farmer could sell rejected wheat to anyone in New Zealand, but he could not export it before September 30. He was making further enquiries as to whether the date could be shortened. It was to some extent a question of shipping.
