Progress in Education and Research in Agriculture and Fisheries

Abstract

INCREASING recognition is being given to the fact that many problems connected with agriculture need the help of the trained research worker as well as that of the practical man. During the last twenty years, since the appointment of the Development Commission, steady and rapid progress has been made, until at the present time the ramifications of the system of research and advisory work set up by that body extend over a surprising variety of problems. Three reports recently issued, one by the Development Commissioners, and two by the Ministry of Agriculture on agricultural research institutes and research and education respectively, present a comprehensive picture of the existing state of affairs in Great Britain.
