FARMING IMPROVEMENT
HOUSING & BETTER FOOD. A rousing address by Sir John Boyd Orr, Director of the Rowett Institute for Research into Animal Nutrition at Aberdeen, given to the City Business Club of Edinburgh, has attracted much attention. Sir' John sees serious deterioration and neglect in Scotland generally and he urges his fellow countrymen to exert the will to recovery. The two immediate lines of development urged are improved housing and better food. As in his earlier pronouncements, he recognises that many people have not sufficient money to buy an adequate dietary. But he thinks that- if this gap were bridged b'y subsidy or otherwise, the extra purchasing power would fertilise the land and industry from end to end of the country.
Scotland has, he says, the best farmers in the world and the best stock, and all that is needed is the money and the will-power for action.
