ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



I acknowledge, with a deep sense of indebtedness, the services of all the members 

 of the Experimental Farm staff for their kind co-operation in the various branches 

 of the work conducted on all the Experimental Farms and Stations throughout the 

 Dominion. The results given in the present report bear abundant evidence of their 

 earnest endeavour to render such service in their several spheres of labour as will 

 stimulate the progress of agriculture. I also tender sincere thanks to those members 

 of the staff who have aided me in those branches of the work of which I have had 

 personal charge : — To the foreman in charge of the lawns and ornamental grounds 

 at the Central Farm for the taste and industry which he has displayed and to the 

 foreman of the greenhouse for his careful management of the plants and shrubs under 

 propagation, also for the useful work he has done in testing the vitality of seeds and 

 in the taking of meteorological records. I also desire to bear testimony to the valuable 

 services rendered me by my assistant and to the faithful work done by my secretary. 

 The employees of all the Farms have also my thanks for the interest they have mani- 

 fested in their work and for the careful manner in which they have discharged their 

 respective duties.
