ih iewø, Friday, June 21, 1918 SCIENCE and FARMING.! The importance of agriculture to I West Wales is generally admitted, and particular interest attaches to the raising of sheep on ground unfit for crops. The flat lands of the county are utilized yearly by farmers who run large numbers of sheep on the Carmar- then Van and the Brecon Beacons, and*, this fact lends special importance to re- searches into diseases of sheep in the sea coast area. It is, therefore, a matter for considerable gratification that the University Cotege at Aberyst- wyth has devoted ratich attention to agricultural matters but it is regret- table that the majority of farmers have not taken advantage of the knowledge available as a .result of the investiga- tions of the College staff. One very important production has reached us by favour of the Editor of "Parasitology." It is a summary of; the results of a survey of the zoology of the Aberystwyth area, carried. out by Mr. Charles L. Walton, M.Sc., of the Zoological and Agricultural Depart- ments of the College. Mr. Walton has had under review an area of North Cardiganshire and some (adjacent borders—roughly, some 250' square miles, and points out that it divides into three main divisions—mountainous I uplands, coastal plateau, and fall-line, which is intermediate: Borth Bog forms a distinct type. The bigh plateau is the great summer grazing ground for sheep, but the slope between it and the lower plateau includes much woodland, and is often traversed by deep cwms. The rainfall varies ex- ceedingly from 31 at Aberystwyth to as high as 100 inches per annum on Plyn- limon. Commenting on the farms, he says I In general the farming does not reach a high level, the character of the land and climate in many cases being adverse, and the farm build- ing frequently sadly inadequate, though there are, of course, a number of notable exceptions to the above general statements. Sheep farming and cattle rearing fiatu rally predominate; agriculture being chiefly accessory. f Mr. Walton then proceeds to discuss the various types of sheep farms, and he divides these into seven classes which include lowland farms where the flock, never leave the place; stand- ing flocks- which go to a mountain walk for the summer farms taking lambs on tack farms buying a fresh flock each year'; farms which combine any of these with fattening wethers; and farms which take sheep on tack and also work between mountain and lowland. There are also the mountain farms which run their flocks on the hills, and have big annual lamb sales., Of the 250 farms which he personally -isited he found* the largest number of flocks were those which moved about in the immediate area, and the second largest number was flocks kept at home without any movement. Pro- ceeding on this data. Mr. Walton in- vestigated the prevalence of gid and proved that the iirst class of sheep— those which never left the farm-were the least affected, whilst the class which suffered most were those which moved about in the immediate or out- side areas, as many as ninety per cent. being affected. Contrasting these re- suits, he argues that lambs coming into the county were probably affected before they left their own area, and attributes infection to travelling along" the roads. Some curious causes have been stated locally, such as grazing by running water, etc., or to a blow on the head. One very sighificant fact remains, and that is the prevalence of the disease near kennels. In the area adjoining Gogerddan, where the puppies are walked, the compiaint was more general, and the author proves that dogs are distributors of gid, quot- ing M. C. Hall to show that strong- jawed dogs crack open the skulls of dead sheep and so become infected. "The young hound," says the writer, "is among the strongest-jawed dog of the arsa, and I have met them on the mountains far from the farms where they are being reared." After deal- ing with tape worms, ticks, red water, bloodsucking flies, and warble flies, Mr Walton .proceeds to refer to the sheep maggot, which he describes as one of the most troublesome pests of the dis- trict. The whole matter is affected by sheep scab and compulsory dipping, for dates are fixed for dipping against scab and very frequently dipping earlier against maggots is not undeitaken. There are, however, a few farmers who dip as often as three or four times a year but the average time seems to be late in July. Practically all the dips in use in the area are suitable, but there is room for both carbolic and sulphur preparations. One interesting fact is that mountain districts which are wind-swept were remarkably free from this pest- Such a publication as this shows the great econoipic value of what is frequently termed "theory work," but the pity is that the conclusions and the facts are 'not placed more directly be- fore the persons concerned. It is im- possible, in the columns of the Press, to deal adequately with matters of this sort, and yet information which is of real monetary value to Cardiganshire's staple industry is hidden in the columns of technical journals. Would it not be possible to adopt some method which Mould bring these valuable re- searches before agriculturists? The College Agricultural Department is doing work of great .national import- ance, but only a few farmers take advantage of the knowledge which is. collected. There are means which can be suggested, such as lectures, pam- phlets similar to those published by the Board of Agriculture, and so on. Here- fordshire sends its representatives round each farm, but the great thing to be desired is that there should be a thorough appreciation by farmers of the fact that the College and its staff are anxious to assist and to lend all prac- tical aid possible. The agricultural community must be brought into closer touch with the College, but it is difficult to lay down any definite lines which might be adopted to this end. There are gentlemen connected both with agriculture and the College who could devise a scheme which will enhance the rising reputation of the University College. The interests are, identical, although now scientist and farmer work in separate grooves. Co-ordination and co-operation is a task to which the best brains ot both should be directed. •

EbrrORIAL NOTES. Festiniog Council was informed at a recent meeting that a movement was to be inaugur- ated to commemorate local men who have fallen in the great war. This is at it should be.. Each town and hamlet should have some worthy memorial to their dead heroes as k mark of gratitude for their sacrifice and an inspiration for patriotism in succeeding generations. The tendency to ignore and forget services has been. far too apparent in our treatment of the men- who suffered in the past. Pointed comments were made at Merioneth County Council at the continued absence of Alderman Haydn Jones, *M.P., from the meet- ings of that body. When he was one of the- most faithful in attendance years ago that fact was made a basis for complaint against him or being inclined tcr autocratic methods. It is difficult to know what his critics really want. His presence and services were not appreciated" when they were available and now his absence is adversely criticised.. The efficiency of the County Council and Education Committee has- greatly suffered by Mr. Haydn Jones's volun- tary withdrawal and the public would' gain materially if he could be persuaded to resume his attendance.
