Mr. C. J. M. Cadzow. — Agricultural co-operation and organisation in 

 Scotland (11.20). 



The history of the Agricultural Co-operative Movement in Scotland is 

 outlined shortly by tracing the development of the Scottish Agricultural 

 Organisation Society — the ' spear-head ' of the movement — since its early 

 days. After dealing with the Society's policy and activities in pre-war 

 days, the reasons for a post-war change in policy are summarised. The 

 steady growth of the movement is illustrated in a sketch of the development 

 of the principal societies trading in agricultural requisites. 



It is shown that, although considerable interest in the marketing of dairy 

 and poultry produce has always been evinced in outlying parts of the 

 country, little attention was paid by producers to the standardisation of 

 quality and grading of other products until after the Great War. 



After briefly sketching the history of several co-operative marketing 

 societies, an outline is given of the objects of a new form of Egg Marketing 

 Agency recently submitted to producers for consideration and in which 

 considerable interest is being shown. 



An indication is given of the policy of the S.A.O.S. in regard to large- 

 scale marketing organisation, with particular reference to schemes under the 

 Agricultural Marketing Acts and their effect on the Agricultural Co-operative 

 Movement in Scotland. 



SECTION G.— ENGINEERING. 



Thursday, September 10. 



Presidential Address by Prof. W. Cramp on The engineer and the nation 

 (10.0). 



Dr. C. C. Garrard. — The economic incentive of the engineer (11.0). 



Mr. L. Thompson. — Description of the machinery of the amusement park 

 (11.30). 



Dr. L. G. A. Sims. — Progress towards a test specification for incremental 

 magnetic qualities (12.0). 



Following the author's paper read before Section G at Norwich, the 

 Committee of Section G expressed the desire that the proposals advanced 

 in the paper should be carried forward as effectively as could be made 

 possible. These proposals aimed at establishing a test specification for the 

 incremental magnetisation of sheet steels, very large quantities of which are 

 used by the electrical industry. In accordance with the Committee's 

 wishes the research work which is in progress was directed more particularly 

 towards establishing the foundations for an international specification : a 

 stage has been reached here which enables certain limits to be fixed and
