EASTERN ONTARIO BRANCH. 



The first meeting of this local ivas held 

 at the University Club, Ottawa, on the 

 evening of November 8th when Dr. J. H. 

 Grisdale gave an address on ' ' The Develop- 

 ment of Canadian Agriculture". About 

 thirty members were present. An effort 

 will be made to have Dr. Grisdale 's address 

 prepared for publication in Scientific Agri- 

 culture. 



At the close of the meeting, during a 

 period of informal discussion, it was sug- 

 gested that it might be desirable for the 

 programme committee to arrange for one 

 or more debates during the winter upon 

 questions concerning which there was some 

 difference, of opinion. Many matters of 

 vital importance to agriculture could be 

 thoroughly discussed, and perhaps a un- 

 animity of opinion reached. This is a sug- 

 gestion that might well be considered by 

 other branches of the Society.
