 QUESTIONS AND REPLIES (continued),
 President: I now call upon the Honourable E. A. C. Hughes, Nominated
Member, to ask the questions standing in his name.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes :
Q. 1 (a) Will Government state whether one of the main reasons for the
 existence of the Camden Park Experiment Station is the improvement
 of livestock in the Colony?
 (b) If the answer is in the affirmative, will Government please state why
 persons seeking the services of stud animals at the station are faced
 with so many restrictions and difficulties?
A. (a) The reply is in the affirmative.
 (b) Government is not aware that restrictions and difficulties are placed
 in the way of those desiring to obtain the services of stud animals at
 the station. Necessary measures have, of course, to be taken for the
 protection of costly stud animals, as is the practice in all progressive
 stud farms and stud centres in well-developed agricultural
 communities. Perhaps the Honourable Member would submit to the
 Administration particular instances of the difficulties encountered.
Q. 2. (a) In view of the high cost of imported animal feeds, will Government
 please state whether the Agricultural Department has prepared
 formulae for the preparation of relatively inexpensive animal feeds
 made largely from local produce?
 (b) If the reply is in the affirmative, will Government please see that these
 formulae are made available to the general public?
