asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether, in view of the after-the-war trade policy of Great Britain and the opportunity which may be afforded to develop and promote still further the Irish butter industry, he will consider the advisability of appointing additional dairy in structors who will visit creameries more frequently and advise and assist not alone on the question of production, but, as to marketing, means to be employed in turning out first-class quality and the other points which are absolutely essential to he Irish butter trade; and whether he is aware that Irish farmers of all creeds and classes are at one as to the appointment of these additional instructors?

Mr. DUKE
