EMPIRE FARMERS BENEFITED
AGRICULTURAL BUREAU’S CONFERENCE
The British Government’s Sta-' tionary Office has just published a report of proceedings of the Imperial Agricultural Bereau’s Conference held concurrently with the Scientific Conference. Many members of Imperial delegations represented their countries at both.
The Bureau provides in Britain twelve centres of information enabling agricultural research workers in any one country to keep in touch with every development throughout the whole Empire and act as a clearing house of all the latest advances in agricultural science. While they exist primarily to serve scientists the knowledge gained and shared also reaches individual farmers, and the welfare of agriculture in the Commonwealth entirely depends on any service provided by the Bureau. During wartime there was no interruption of activities, although maintenance work often entailed extreme difficulty.
Subjects discussed included soil science, animal health and nutrition plant and animal breeding and genetics, pastures and forage crops, agricultural parasites and gunig, dairy science and forestry.
