It is unnecessary to point out that the extension of 

 this culture is of great importance to manufacturers of 

 machinery and it is therefore confidently expected that 

 they will avail themselves of this opportunity of exhibit- 

 ing their machinery and thus acquiring a good advertise- 

 ment. 



As indicated in the programme the machinery exhi- 

 bits will be tested, and as the Congress is not restricted 

 to Netherlands India, other tropical countries will 

 doubtless benefit by the result of these trials and at- 

 tention will be attracted thereto. 



The Committee, acting on behalf of the Agricultural 

 Association of which I am President, in charge of the 

 Congress and Exhibition, will do all in its power to grant 

 every facility to exhibitors of machinery. 



Space and power will be furnished free of charge, 

 while endeavours will be made to induce the steamship 

 companies to grant reduced rates of freight on exhibits. 

 The results of these endeavours will be advised you in 

 due course. 



As it is necessary to know in advance what space 

 and power will be required for all the exhibits, the Com- 

 mittee has decided that requests for space must be 

 received by the Secretary of the Netherlands Indian 

 Agricultural Association at Sourabaya by the 1st of 

 July, 1910. 



Please therefore give a full description of the pro- 

 posed exhibit and a close estimate of the necessary driv- 

 ing power required. 



Further particulars may be had from the Commit- 

 tee's representative in Holland : Professor DR. G. VAN 

 ITERSON, Delft. 



A. Paets Tot Gansoeijen, 



President of the 

 Netherlands Indian Agricultural Association.
