As this price is above the Government Supplementary Minimum Wool Price of 235 cents per kilogram (greasy basis) no supplement is payable on wool until further notice.

There is likewise no grower retention levy payable in terms of section 42 of the Wool Industry Act 1977, as the A.W.A.S.P. is less than the ruling Trigger Price of 300 cents per kilogram (greasy basis).

Dated at Wellington this 29th day of October 1979.

GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS AND BANKS
By Dr Hawke

244 p. $7.50

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand was established in 1933-34 but today’s institution bears little resemblance to the one that was originally constructed by the 1933 legislation. The author, with a combination of historical and economic skill, covers the story and makes an assessment of the Bank’s performance to date. A valuable contribution to New Zealand’s historical record.

THE CHANGING VEGETATION OF MOLESWORTH STATION NEW ZEALAND 1944–1971
NEW ZEALAND DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH, BULLETIN 217

118 p. 1976. $4.50

Totalling 700 square miles, the broad expanse of high altitude Crown land known as Molesworth Station is the largest single farm unit in New Zealand. In 1938, after 70 years of leasehold farming the Molesworth and Tarndale runs reverted to the Crown in a badly depleted state. This is an account of the recovering of the land at Molesworth for productive farming and should prove very interesting and informative to all high country farmers.
