§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken to persuade farmers to dispose of unwanted straw for paper-making?
Mr. HudsonFarmers are being urged through the Press and other channels to dispose of straw not required on the farms, particularly wheat straw, to the Paper-makers Straw Trading Company on the terms agreed between the company and the National Farmers' Union early this year. The Ministry's local officers have also made inquiries as to growers who may still have straw for disposal, and particulars have been supplied to the company.
