§ 55. Mr. Gallacherasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken, in view of the need to increase food production, to encourage cooperation and the pooling of machinery, especially among small farmers.
§ Mr. T. Williams:Farmers are aware of the need for cooperation with each other, and a great deal of neighbourly help is being given. Attempts to stimulate more organised pooling of machinery resources have had only limited success, but I shall continue to do what I can to encourage this. The machinery service provided by county war agricultural executive committees will also continue to give help needed by the smaller farmers.
