other preliminary work involved, 

 to have the Board appointed 

 iliiiokly, and to select men whose 

 imalifications are unquestionable. 

 There has been considerable diffi- 

 culty in obtaining .sufficient ma- 

 terial, of a desirable nature, to 

 turn out a creditable publication 

 in Januaiy and February, and 

 that difficulty is likely to con- 

 tinue until men who are in close 

 touch with, the work -being done 

 in their respective fields of effort, 

 give their support to the maga- 

 zine. It would be a serious mis- 

 fortune if the present policy of 

 those responsible for "Scientific 

 Agriculture." namely, the Cana- 

 dian Society of Technical Agi-i- 

 eulturists, should have to be modi- 

 fied on account of lack of support 

 on tlie pai-t of tliose who are in a 

 position to contribute original ma- 

 terial. The appointment of an 

 Editorial Board .should help to re- 

 lieve ithe present difficulty, and 

 ensure the appearance in this new 

 technical magazine, of only such 

 articles and general material as 

 will be creditable to the Society 

 which it represents. 



Every member of the Canadian 

 Society of Technical Agricultu- 

 rists should feel it his personal 

 duty to support this magazine in 

 every possible way, and one of the 

 most important methods of su])- 

 I)ort is the prompt contribution to 

 the Editor of any material 

 suitable for publication. iMany 

 readers, outside of the Society, 

 can give similar assi-stanee. And, 

 for the next month or two, the 

 men who constitute the Editorial 

 Board should make a special ef- 

 fort to prevent that most serious 

 of all situations — a dearth of 

 material.

 rust so far."
