GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN AUSTRALIA. DR. FRANKLIN’S IMPRESSIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 19. Dr. Franklin, of Lincoln College, returned from Australia by the Awatea, which arrived today. He spent three months visiting research laboratories in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia and said good work was being done towards combating stock and parasitic diseases. He studied work on deficiency diseases and found that good progress was being made 'in South Australia, where investigators were concentrating on a coast disease, which was caused by a deficiency of cobalt and copper. The Australians were able to do a good job, he said, because their interests were widespread. There were large laboratories under the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Department in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, over a hundred investigators being engaged, all under Dr. Bull, but each institution tackling particular problems. They were assisted by generous grants.
