BASAL DIET AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF GRASS LANDS. Memorandum by Sir Alan Anderson.

any risk at sea should be initiated without delay as a buttress to our national wealth and health in the widest sense. The first requirements to bring rough grazing into effective use are to fence, to provide the roughage, water, to kill the rabbits, to cut to harrow, to dress with slag or some other suitable artificial and then to stock the land without delay, feeding the beasts as required and letting them tread and improve the pasture. Another reason forcing us to bring these rough grazings into use without delay is that many of the grass fields of better quality have been ploughed up and unless we replace these better grazings by improving the worst we shall be asking the grassland farmer on whom we rely for our cheapest milk to do the impossible by producing more milk on less grass of inferior quality and with less concentrates.
