The advantages of the work, after twenty years' operation, are thus 

 summed up : — 



i. It systematizes seed distribution along definite lines and for valu- 

 able purposes. 



2. It supplies a direct, as well as an indirect, source of information. 



3. It enables practical men to obtain information regarding varieties 

 of field crops, selections of seed, dates of seeding, methods of cultiva- 

 tion, ways of increasing soil fertility, etc., for their own particular farms, 

 which they could not get in any other way.
