DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 303 



Mr. Adams. Some of the farmers have just got through 

 threshing their grain and it may take a few weeks to get in 

 all the data. Of course this society wants the whole of it, and 

 for that reason it may be late before they get the information. 



Dr. Woods. There is one other thing I would like to men- 

 tion. While this association is represented on the Experiment 

 Station Council and in that way is somewhat in touch with the 

 work the Station is doing in breeding seeds, it seems to me 

 that in some way the executive committee ought to keep in 

 closer touch with us, and if any of this seed that we are breed- 

 ing is used that they want to distribute among their members 

 they ought to get in touch with us so that they can get this 

 seed. We always do have surplus seed and we shall have some 

 this year. I presume they are interested in the growing of oats, 

 and we have more than 40 plots growing in the season, at High- 

 moor. It seems to me that if we want to learn something about 

 growing oats Highmoor Farm is about the best place we can 

 visit. We shall be glad to have a Field Meeting at Highmoor 

 Farm in the summer ; we can always get railroad rates. 

 Wouldn't that be a good suggestion to pass on to the executive 

 committee ? 



Mr. Porter. I wish to thank Dr. Woods for this suggestion.
