13. Mr. E. L. Mallaliouasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the tendency of the price paid to producers of milk to fall, what special steps he is taking to bring to the notice of producers that they are likely to be better off with a herd average of 700–800 gallons produced by home-produced feedingstuffs than with one of 1,500 or more gallons produced by bought feedingstuffs.
