MARKETING GRANTS
Effect of Cessation CONSERVATION OF FUNDS (By Teleir»;iph~ Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 7. Commenting at a recent meeting of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research ou the effect of the cessation of the Empire Marketing Board's grants, the chairman, Mr. George Shirtcliffe said it would seem that the available funds should be conserved for the purpose of maintaining such fundamental researches as play an allimportant part in the development of the Dominion’s natural resources. In this class would be placed plant research, soil survey, animal health and nutrition. On the other hand, research which was done for particular industries should be financed for the most part by the industries themselves, viz. : Dairy, fruit, wheat, leather, gold, fuel, etc. Referring to the desirableness of modifying policies in various research activities as the circumstances warrant, Mr. Shirtcliffe remarked that in primary products quantitative expansion seemed at present to require halting and energies directed towards improvement in quality.
