DAIRYING RESEARCH
STATISTICIANS AT WORK ON DISEASE FIGURES
Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON, Today. Research of the first importance to the dairying industry is now being pursued by the Farm Economics Branch, of the Department of Agriculture. Trained statisticians are endeavouring to discover whether the existing statistics can provide any light on the subject of the surrounding circumstances of disease of dairy cows. The effort is, by examination of existing figures and the collection of new ones, to establish if any of the multitude of conditions surrounding mammitis and abortion, for instance, are relevant to the development of the disease in other stock —that is, whether certain diseases are prevalent in highaverage cows, or on farms which are heavily top-dressed. A careful examination of the facts and figures will be made in the effort to discover suggestions for further lines of inquiry. If this can be accomplished, and certain types of disease can be linked to certain surrounding circumstances, a great deal will have been gained.
