SHORTAGE OF FEED
DAIRY HERDS REDUCED United Prer.s Ass...—fc,ec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Jane 7, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, June 6 Britain’s beef dairy herds will be reduced before the autumn by 300,000 animals. Farmers will be asked to reduce their herds voluntarily, but can be compelled under the defence regulations. Mr R. Hudson said: “I have always warned farmers that feeding stuffs would be short, but they will be shorter than I thought. We have ploughed about 4,000,000 additional acres, but the extra crops are nowhere near sufficient to make up the loss of feeding stuffs from abroad.” A reduction of five per cent in the nation’s dairy herds will be effected by culling 170,000 dairy 1 cows*
