N.B. — Even under this arrangement the total head of stock 

 (cows, beasts, sheep, and pigs) would not be quite as high as in 

 some continental countries. 



Not only would the suggested increase in the number of cows go 

 towards providing increased home production of cheese, but the 

 average milk yield per cow should be increased by some 40 per 

 cent. 



The increase of 2 millions in the head of beasts would provide an 

 extra amount of home-grown meat about equivalent to the amount 

 now imported ixoxa. foreign countries.
