§ Mr. HENDERSON STEWARTasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether in view of the increasing adoption of sex determination of chicks by large poultry firms in England and the almost complete absence of the system in Scotland, he will take steps to make the method known to Scottish poultry producers, with a view to encouraging the most scientific and profitable methods in Scotland?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe subject has been brought to the notice of the agricultural colleges in Scotland, and I understand that arrangements are being made whereby a method of distinguishing the sex of day-old chicks will be demonstrated to county instructresses in poultry-keeping at an early date.
