REPORT ON DRY-FARMING IN AMERICA. 



Sir, 



I have the honour to submit my report on Dry-farming in America 

 for transmission to the Right Hon. the Minister of Agriculture. At the 

 same time I should like to express my appreciation of the personal interest 

 you have taken in the progress of this new movement, as well as for the 

 opportunity afforded me by the Department of Agriculture of pursuing 

 these investigations. My thanks are also due to my two colleagues, Mr. 

 Joseph Burtt-Davy, F.L.S., and Mr. Barend Enslin, who so kindly took 

 charge respectively of the Agricultural Journal and the Dry-land Experi- 

 ment Station during my absence in the United States. 



I have the honour to be, 



Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



William Macdonald, 

 Editor, Agricultural Journal, and Dry-land Agronomist.
