ORGANISED RESEARCH
CONSERVATION OF AVAILABLE FUNDS MARKETING BOARD'S GRANTS CEASE £Pee United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, April TO. > Commenting at the recent meeting of. the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research on the effect of the cessation of the Empire Marketing Board’s grants, the chairman (Mr W. Shirtcliffe) said that it would seem that the available funds should be conserved for the purpose. of maintaining such fundamental researches as play an all-important part in the 'develop; ment of the dominion’s natural resources. In this class would be placed plant research, soil survey, , and animal health and nutrition. On the other hand, research whicli was done for particular industries should be. financed, for the most part,’ by the industries themselves-T-dairy* fruit, wheat, leather, gold, fuel, etc. Referring to the desirableness of modifying the policies in the various research activities as circumstances warrant, Mr Shirtcliffe remarked .that, ■ in primary products, quantitative expansion seemed at present to require halting and the energies directed towards an improvement in quality.
