610 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. [Vol. 35, 1916] 



The war has gone a long way to impress upon governments and 

 the public generally the vital position which production occupies and 

 the advantages of the new agriculture. The supreme importance of 

 scientific research in all branches has been impressed upon the 

 countries of Europe by the most remarkable demonstrations ever 

 furnished. In these demonstrations and convictions the indispen- 

 sableness of science to an adequate agriculture has been given a new 

 understanding ; and in the general results the institutions and work- 

 ing forces charged with the prosecution of science and education in 

 agriculture have richly shared.
