BRITISH AGRICULTURE
INCREASING PRODUCTION
LOSSES DUE TO DISEASE
(British Official Wireless.) Received June 5, 11.55 a.m. RUGBY, June 4. Referring in a speech before the Council of Agriculture to the Government’s £315,000 plan for increasing farm production, which was laid before the commission on May 17, the Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. S. Morrison) said that the department was working hal’d at milk, butter and other problems, and he hoped before Parliament rose that he would have some proposals to announce in regard to the commodities themselves. The made last week were intended to place a solid foundation under the subsequent commodity proposals. Referring to animal diseases, Mr Morrison said that £15,000,000 annually was perhaps a conservative estimate of the loss due to this cause. An attack on this problem would be made.
