Sir A. BOSCAWENA considerable number of notices have been served by County Agricultural Committees under Section 4 of the Act, and returns have been required under the Corn Production Act with regard to crops, livestock, etc., on agricultural holdings and in connection with claims for payments in respect of wheat and oats produced this year. These notices and requirements as to returns will remain in force until the Acts, under which they arise, have been repealed.
