§ 58. Major John Morrisonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will 26 give any encouragement to the growing of maize.
§ The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Thomas Williams)The growing of maize for grain production has not hitherto been practicable in this country, but experiments now proceeding under the supervision of the Agricultural Research Council are giving promising results. My Department may shortly be able to issue information on the subject. Full information and advice on the cultivation of maize for use as a green fodder crop, or for making silage, is available in the Ministry's Bulletin No. 72 on Arable Crops.
