IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 



On August 1st, 1922, immediately after 

 the publication of this issue, the headquar- 

 ters of the Canadian Society of Technical 

 Agriculturists are being moved to Ottawa. 

 This is merely a return to the city where 

 the Society was organized during the early 

 part of 1920 and where its headquarters 

 remained until October of that year. At 

 that time a transfer to Gardenvale, P. Q., 

 was made necessary because of the fact 

 that the offices of the Industrial and Edu- 

 cational Publishing Company (the origi- 

 nal publishers of "Scientific Agricul- 

 ture") were located there. 



Since July, 1921, the Society has owned 

 and published ' ' Scientific Agriculture " ' 

 and the Dominion Executive Committee 

 at the close of the recent annual Conven- 

 tion, decided in favor of returning to 

 Ottawa. 



The new address for aU correspondence 

 in connection with the Soiety or "Scien- 

 tific Agriculture"' is: 



P. 0. Box 625, Ottawa, Ontario. 



Future issues of "Scientific Agricul- 

 ture" will be published by the Society at 

 Ottawa.
