PRIMARY PRODUCTION
MR RUSHWORTH RESIGNS FROM COUNCIL. FARMERS' UNION AND STATE POLICY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. November 30. His resignation from the Auckland Primary Production Council has been forwarded to the Department of Agriculture by Mr H. M. Rushworth, president of the Auckland Provincial Farmers' Union. In his letter of resignation, Mr Rushworth explains that, since it now seems improbable that the Government will consent to adopt a general policy which will permit of any considerable increase in farm produce, he has no alternative but to comply with his executive's instructions, given at a meeting on November 15. The executive adopted the following resolution unanimously: “That the Farmers' Union representation on the primary production councils in the Auckland province be withdrawn upon the expiry of one month from today (November 15) failing an assurance having been obtained from the Government that it is prepared to give effect to conditions set out by this executive as being essential to ensure increased production, or even to maintain production at its present level."
