HERD TESTING.
WELLINGTON, July 25. As the result of a decision arrived at by the Government to-day it is proposed to assist the work of the Herd-testing Associations of the Dominion to the extent
of £BOOO for the current financial year. A small board will be set up to administer the fund and to make satisfacory arrangements with those interested. The Minister of Agriculture (Mr O. J. Hawken) said to-day that the board would be asked to work out a scheme and arrange for the distribution of a sum which was a subsidy on the cost of herd testing. It had been found that the Dairy Produce Board was unable to aid in the movement to assist herd testing owing to the limitations of the Act under which it operated.
