PROGRESS IN AUSTRALIA. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Feb. 20. Dr Franklin, of Lincoln College, returned from Australia to-day. He spent three months visiting research laboratories in Now South Wales, I ictoria, and South Australia, and said good work was being done towards combating stock and parasitic diseases. He studied the work on deficiency diseases and found good progress was being made in South Australia, where investigators were concentrating on the coast disease, which was caused by a deficiency of cobalt and copper. Australians’were able to do a good job, Dr Franklin said, because their interests were widespread. There were hu'ce laboratories under the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Department in Sydney, Melbourne. and Adelaide. Over a hundred investigators were engaged, all under Dr Bull, hut each institution was tackling particular problems. They were assisted greatly by generous grants from agriculturists.
