1 66 BREEDS 



Till it is established, one way or the other, that the Friesian 

 is suitable for the home requirements of our farmers, no public 

 authority should advance the interests of the breed against those 

 that are found to be useful. Until the question of beef-pro- 

 duction among the steers is decided, it may well be that the 

 enthusiasm for the breed which is being encouraged by many 

 well-wishers tOxBritish farming, is but another case of failure to 

 obtain the greatest possible amount of home-grown produce 

 from our land. Here again is seen the great need for more of 

 that knowledge which can only be acquired through scientific 

 research and systematic trial, tested by practice on the farms of 

 our native land.
