DAIRYING
THE IRISH PROBLEM. Dublin. Development of winter dairying through the Scandinavian systems of silage feeding is now being urged as a means of putting the Irish dairy industry ou a stable all-year-round basis. Ireland has always been severely handicapped in the export market through the inability of the farmers to maintain an all-the-yenr-round output. Climatic conditions are unfavourable to winter dairying, with the result that the industry is virtually at a standstill during six months of the year. Special importance is attached to the opinion of Dr Henry Kennedy, a leading member of the Irish Agricultural Credit Commission, who after a visit to Finland, Scandinavia and Germany declares that the Finnish plan of conserving nutritious wintei rood for cattle could bo readily adopted in Ireland, and winter dairying could be carried on here on equally sound lines. The heavy rainfall in Ireland is responsible for an enormous waste of hay, and this leakage of agricultural resources can be wholly eliminated by the system of silage feeding, it is claimed.
