The object of this paper is to draw attention to the need of a further supply of sound dairy stock. Three main arguments in favour of this proposal have occupied our minds: (1) that the loss to the dairy industry through tuberculosis in cattle amounts to a considerable sum each year, (2) that there is serious loss in human lives due to bovine tuberculosis, (3) that, owing to their dearth in the country, there should be sufficient demand for sound dairy stock to place a farm devoted to the rearing of such cattle on a sound financial basis. The last part of this paper deals with a proposal to carry out this scheme.
