FARMING TO-DAY,
A MINISTERIAL VIEW. Speaking at Dunedin, the Minister of Lands, the Hon. A. D. McLeod, said that he had received 2/6 per. lb for. crossbred wool, and he did not expect to ever obtain such a price again. He believed that wool exports would be up a little this year though not much. He considered that wool was now at a point that. growers on the whole, whoso runs were not too heavily mortgaged, and who were fairly well established!, would make a I reason able living.
. Dealing with meats he said that fat sheep wore down 33 per cent, on the value ruling last year. A reduction of 7/--or 8/- a head meant a great deal to the sheep farmer. The farmer had toiled hard during the difficult period of. reconstruction, and he would not bo satisfied until every section of the community had taken its fair share. There had been a complete collapse in the export of beef, and this had been a serious. blow to the farmer and the country.
