INTRODUCTION 9 



The Commission are under more obligations for assistance and 

 hospitality in Denmark than they can adequately acknowledge. 

 Mr Harald Faber, the Danish Commissioner for Agriculture in 

 London, is in the forefront of their many helpers. Mr Schou, 

 the Adviser of the Board of xVgriculture, placed his wealth 

 of information ungrudgingly at their service. The same is 

 true of Professor Bang, the world-wide authority on tuberculosis, 

 and of his colleagues in the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural 

 College, Copenhagen — Professor Boggild and Professor Marr. To 

 the directors and teachers of the High School at Askov, who enter- 

 tained the party at lunch and gave them a most interesting day, 

 the Commission are particularly indebted. From Mr Grut Hansen, 

 at Kolle-Kolle, and from Mr Hansen, the manager of the Horsens 

 bacon-curing establishment, the Commission also had the proverbial 

 hospitality of the Dane. 



The Commission desire, to record their sense of the courtesy 

 shown them by Sir W. E. Goschen, K.C.M.G., His Majesty's 

 Minister, in receiving a party at dinner at the Legation. 



The Commission wish also to thank Mr J. M. Hodge for his 

 labours in the preparation of this Report, and for his admirable 

 services as organising secretary. Mr Hodge's arrangements left 

 nothing to desire in respect of utility, comfort, and economy of time. 

 Nor must recognition be omitted of Mr Porse, an intelligent young 

 Dane, well versed in farming matters, who acted as guide and, 

 when necessary, as interpreter. 



A Summary of the Comparative Observations and Suggestions 

 unanimously agreed upon by the Commission will be found at
