Nor have the results been entirely un- are producing sallsfactory. Farmers much more and shermen are bringing bigger and bigger catches back to the Colony. One trouble still remains-the fantastic disproportion between wholesale and retail prices, strongly suggesting that Government, while successfully elimina ting one monopoly has unwittingly created another. The only really unsatisfactory festure about the vegetable and hish marketing schemes is that the consumer receives no benefit whatever from them. I is to Government's credit that it has attempted one or two experiments In the hope of correcting the anomalous difference between wholesale and retail prices for Beh and vegetables, but undoubtedly a powerful "ring" exista which apparently cannot be broken. Government, however, has fully abfded by its promises to fur- mers and fishermen to give them every assialance in their livelfhoods and, while it is true the long-term idea of creating co-operatives in those two industries hus by no means been realised, considerable Incentives have been given for greater production of fish and agricultural com- modities. Nevertheless, the former is still confronted with one important hand!- cap: he cannot obtain sufficient fertluser for his needs. The problem is aggravated -because the use of night sall for this pur pose is, not without reason, condemned by the medical authorities. Government has attempted to solve the problem by making. available matured night soll, but again the principal complaint has been insufficient to think supplies. The farmers appear

that the whole trouble would be eliminated if they were permitted unrestricted use of raw night soll, and they argue that the medical department's ban on the use of this type of fertiliser is unrealistic. The fact remains, however, that row night soil used indiscriminately for the growing of vegetables can be a menace to the health of the general public, and on this ground the Authorities are justified in burning its use. In so doing, however, Government automatically assumes a responsibility-that of seeing the New Territories farmers can obtain enough alternative type of fertiliser and economic prices.
if Government And feels that it cannot achieve this, serious consideration should be given to the proposition that the undertaking should be handed over to private enterprise. The experimental manufacture of a compost made from a mixture of night soil and city garbage may, in due course, offer the proper solution to the whole problem of supplying the right type of fertiliser in quantities suficient to cover all needs. Certainly the idea

We trust that those responsible for tackling this problem will continue vigorously to prosecute their experiments for the production of a suit- able compost and that they will receive overy encouragement from the proper quarters, including the farmers whose interests are so much at stake.
