Fodder

Silt —I think the suggestion of Lord Antrim that fodder and animal feeding stuffs are synonymous terms is incorrect. Fodder only includes bulky foods such as hay and straw, and possibly sugar beet; whereas the term animal feeding stuffs is a much wider term and includes not only bulk foods, but also concentrates such as Indian meal, barley meal and soya meal. It is a very much more comprehensive term than fodder. I think that on this occasion the charge of pedantry against Whitehall is not made out—Yours faithfully, EDWIN C. BURGIS.
