§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that aiding 806 and developing spinning, weaving, and other home industries, the breeding of live stock, and poultry rearing, and the aiding and developing of dairy farming are amongst the duties of the Congested Districts Board, will he state what means are adopted to make known amongst the people living in the congested area the facilities which the Board are prepared to offer; and whether any Circulars dealing more especially with stock breeding, poultry rearing, and bee-keeping are issued by the Board for distribution amongst the people; and, if not, will he consider the expediency of issuing some such Circulars printed in Gaelic and English.
§ * MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYI am informed by the Congested Districts Board that they have used their best endeavours to make known their objects by sending a copy of their first Report to all county and parish councils, by distributing seed and bill posters in various parishes, by conference with representative men, and in other ways. They recently issued a pamphlet upon potato spraying, and are about to issue one on poultry, as well as leaflets about stock management and ordinary cattle diseases.
§ * MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYAs my hon. friend knows, there are very few people there who cannot understand English.
