being thrown into its development. More schools and colleges are springing up 

 to teach the science and practice of this branch of agriculture. All over the 

 world it is becoming of vast importance. 



A publication such as was begun by Professor Baker cannot now l)e limited 

 to a small region. It must be broad in its scope and must be useful in develo|)- 

 ing and advancing all branches of tropical and subtropical agriculture and hor- 

 ticulture in all parts of the world where they are practiced. Toward this end, a 

 change is to be made in the Journal. It will be issued under a name name, with 

 new policies and a broader scope, and by a large group of the world's foremost 

 experts in tropical agriculture. A further notice of this will be issued at a later 

 date, when the plans are more nearly complete.
