Abstract
THE report of the National Institute for Research in Dairying (University of Reading) for the year ended September 30, 1940, has just been published. Many members of the staff are now acting in an advisory capacity on various war–time committees appointed by the Government, especially the Ministry of Agriculture. The realization of the essential need for milk to balance the deficiencies of a war–time dietary and the multifarious problems that this involves is, of course, making demands on the work of the staff and thus a number of long–range research projects have been shelved in order that the staff may devote more time to advisory work and short–range investigations of war–time problems of the dairy industry. Details of the work of the various departments of the Institute, namely, dairy husbandry, chemistry, bacteriology, dairy bacteriology advisory, physiology and biochemistry, and of the experimental dairy are included in the report. Sixty–six research papers were published by various members of the staff during the year, and as usual a separate list of papers which can be supplied by the Librarian is appended. This latter list contains twenty–nine titles. The address of the Institute is Shinfield, near Reading, Berks.
