MINERAL CONTENT OF PASTURE
INAUGURATING WORK IN EARNEST POSSIBLE VISIT BY EXPERTS An endeavour is being made by the Government to secure a visit to New Zealand by Dr. Orr (Director of the Rowett Institute, Aberdeen) and Sir Arnold Theiler, formerly chief of the veterinary staff of the United Government of South Africa, and a world’s authority on veterinary science, who are due to arrive in Australia during the coming autumn. Such a visit is regarded as being of particular importance at present, in view of the fact that, with the return of New Zealand officers who have been studying methods of investigation abroad, mineral content of pasture research work will be commenced in earnest.
Mr. T. Rigg, M.Sc., assistant-director of the Cawthron Institute, is back in New Zealand, having represented the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research at the agricultural research conferences in England, and having spent some time also at the Rowett Institute. Mr. R. E. Grimmett, of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, lias spent some months studying at the Rowett Institute and at Rothamsted, and on his way back to the Dominion, where he is due about the end of next month, he will visit veterinary research stations in Australia.
