Schemes for Agricultural Experiments. 509 



opportunities lead them in that direction, and, doubtless, the 

 future still holds many valuable discoveries for the patient 

 investigator. 



So far, the association has confined itself to formulating 

 schemes for joint action in the case of manurial demonstrations, 

 and even this comparatively limited sphere of work cannot be 

 said to have been exhaustively treated. But there remain many 

 other directions in which co-ordination of effort is possible, and,, 

 doubtless, attention will be given to these as opportunity offers. 

 For the present, however, it is extremely desirable that the 

 schemes already prepared should have a full and fair trial, for 

 it is evident that unless they are extensively adopted they will 

 fail to accomplish the object for which they were framed. 

 It would, therefore, be highly desirable that county authorities 

 should carefully consider this matter, and, where field experi- 

 ments are not already conducted under their auspices, endeavour 

 to see whether it would not be possible to join in the work which 

 is already being largely taken up throughout the country. 



Copies of the association's schemes may be had upon 

 application to the Board.
