§ Mr. Priceasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the bad hay crop and the poor prospects for milk yield in some areas during the coming winter, he will arrange for emergency issues of feeding stuffs to dairy cattle where necessary.
Mr. HudsonYes, Sir. This has already been done. I have reminded farmers that the feeding stuffs rationing scheme already provides for the issue of supplementary rations for dairy cattle where loss of fodder crops has occurred, and have urged them to make applications to their Committees where, owing to these conditions, there is a risk that milk yields may suffer.
