PIGS AND COOKED MANGOLDS
PUBLIC HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE RISKS Alluding yesterday to the article in Thursday's "Mail” about the danger of feeding pigs on cooked mangolds. Sir Theodore Rigg, Director of the Caw-, thron Institute, said the risks attendant on such a practice were wellknown, and, contrary to the inf ience contained in the article, had been made public in New Zealand from time (o time. Two articles about the question had appeared in the “Journal of Agriculture.” The first, in 1942, was to bo found in Vol. 65, Page 199, while, six months later, the chemical aspect of the research into this problem had been dealt with in the number for June, 1943, Vol. 66. Page 341. It was very likely, added Sir Theodore, that the article in the "British 'Farmer and Stockbreeder,” from which the extract printed on Thursday was taken, had obtained its materia! from the New Zealand accounts of the research undertaken.
