§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he will state what steps the Congested Districts Board have taken to encourage and improve the breed of poultry in the congested areas of the Highland crofting counties.
§ MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYA largo number of sittings of good eggs wore distributed free last year. In the autumn the Congested Districts Board sent an expert to lecture in all the congested districts of Sutherland and Caithness, and they are now endeavouring to make arrangements for the more rapid marketing of eggs as well as for the supply of improved strains.
