 service of Dr. C. E. Saunders, the Society desires to express its appre- 

 ciation of the work accomplished by Dr. Saunders in having developed 

 new varieties of cereals, and in particular "Marquis Wheat," and at 

 the same time the Society deplores the existing conditions in the Civil 

 Service that render his retirement and loss to Canada necessary, and 

 that the Honorary Secretary be instructed to forward a copy of this 

 resolution to each of the members of the Dominion Cabinet.

 Dr. Arthur Willey; Vice-Chairman, Dr. Andrew Hunter; Secretary,
