SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE 



September, 1921 



professional agriculturists. Its main pur- 

 pose is to provide a record Avhicli at present 

 is greatly needed in this country and whicli 

 is already provided in a number of other 

 ■well organized professions. 



No member is obliged to furnish all the 

 information asked for in the questionnaire 

 that is going to be sent out. Only such in- 

 formation need be furnished as the indi- 

 vidual member is willing to place on re- 

 cord. But if every member looks upon the 

 establishment of a Bureau of Records in 

 the proper light, and appreciates its value 

 to the agricultural hidustry, the informa- 

 tion obtained will be of a very complete 

 nature. 



THE MONTREAL CONVENTION. 



In order that plans for the 1922 Conven- 

 tion may be made .well in advance, it would 

 be helpful if members would make sugges- 

 tions as to the nature of the programme, 

 questions to be discussed, etc. It has al- 

 ready been suggested that the programme 

 cover four days, that one day be devoted 

 to a motor tour from IVIpntreal to Quebec 

 City and that an evening session be held 

 at Quebec, that the general convention di- 

 vide itself into groups for a consideration 

 of their own particular problems, and that 

 such groups organize themselves into Dom- 

 inion-Avide sections of the parent Society — 

 agronomy, animal husbandry, horticulture. 

 etc. 



The dates proposed for the Convention 

 are June 20th to 23rd inclusive, but no de- 

 finite dates will be decided upon for some 

 time. 



Furtlier suggestions from mem])ers will 

 be ai^in-eciated. 



CERTIFICATES OF MEMBERSHIP.

 ber who was in good standing on May -'Ust

 dred of such members, and the fees are
