DEMONSTRATIONS AND LECTURES TO FARMERS 

 AND STUDENTS. 



The appointment of Mr. H. V. Garner as Guide Demonstrator 

 has made it possible for the Station widely to extend facilities 

 for visiting the plots. Farmers, agricultural students and agri- 

 cultural workers are cordially invited to Rothamsted at any time 

 convenient to themselves. May and June are good months for 

 seeing the grass plots, July for the cereals, and September and 

 October for the mangolds and potatoes. In the Winter, Mr. 

 Garner is available for giving lectures on the Rothamsted results 

 to Farmers' and Farm Workers' Clubs and similar organisations.
