The hands of such an expert, the Committee suggests, might be strengthened by the appointment of a small Farm Board -which might also serve to co-ordinate all the agricultural ac-

tivities in the Colony.

For Embezzlement

Senterice of four months' hard labour was passed yesterday on Geoffrey FitzGerald Gilbert at the Criminal Sessions, when he plead-); ed gulty to three charges of em-" bezzling "money belonging to Arn-) | hold and Co., Ltd, his former-em-. players, between October 15' and 17. The SUMM involved totalled $14,000.

Mr. Leo D'Almada, jar., instruct- ed by Messrs. D'Almada Remedios and Sliva, represented accused.

No apprehension is felt as re- gards an adequate supply of food- stuffs for a very greatly increased local supply of pigs, provided cheap transport is available. Brewery and distillery refuse furnish a valuable ingredient; and there is a large surplus of unconsumed food- stuffs from the urban areas. Apart from this Hong Kong's position as a great rice and flour port means frequent condemnations of grain unft for human consumption but. suitable for pigs.

Even if it became necessary to Import foodstuffs this would be economically sound in view of the high value of the grown pig.

We consider that, the breeding of pigs should continue to be a village industry from birth to three month old and later, and that it' is at this stage that support is most needed; but that encouragement should be given to well-placed plg- farms as private enterprises for the fattening process up to the age of 10 months when they are ready for
