§ Brigadier Raynerasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the allocation of rations for dairy cattle during May and June is insufficient to maintain maximum milk production in many high-yielding herds; and whether he will authorise the immediate issue of supplementary allowances to farmers who have exhausted their supplies of home-produced feedingstuffs.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsPasture should normally suffice for milk production in the Summer months but where milk yields are above average rations of concentrates on an adequate basis are allowed. In addition the county agricultural executive committees are authorised to make supplementary allowances in special cases from the limited resources at their disposal.
