404 THE WAR AND AGRICULTURE 



REHABILITATION OF FARMERS IN DEVASTATED 

 AREAS. 



During January, 1915, Mr. Edward Brown, F.L.S., organised 

 a Committee to arrange for the collection of funds, agricultural 

 seeds, implements, &c., to help in the rehabilitation of farmers 

 in the devastated areas of our allied countries on the Continent. 

 The Chairman (Captain Bathurst) and the Secretary were both 

 appointed to serve on this Committee, but at the end of February 

 the Royal Agricultural Society started another committee having 

 the same object in view, and the original Committee amalgamated 

 with this. The Chairman and Secretary of the Central Chamber 

 were added to the Executive of the combined Committee.
