AGRICULTURAL CORRESPONDENTS. 



The President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries 

 has nearly completed the appointment of Honorary " Agricul- 

 tural Correspon dents " in every county of Great Britain. 



These Agricultural Correspondents will be glad from time to 

 time to receive from farmers detailed information as to any 

 matters in regard to which the Board might be of service to 

 them, as, for example : — 



Losses arising from the use of unsuitable, defective or worth- 

 less seeds. 



Difficulties in connection with the selection and use of 

 fertilisers and feeding stuffs, and complaints as to their 

 quality or failure. 



New descriptions of fertilisers and feeding stuffs. 



Losses arising from parasitic or other diseases of animals 

 except foot and mouth disease, pleuro-pneumonia, swine-fever, 

 sheep scab, glanders, anthrax, or rabies. (Notice of these 

 must be given to the police). 



Losses arising from the attacks of insects and diseases 

 affecting crops. 



The spread and suppression of weeds. 



The partial or complete failure of crops from exceptional 

 causes. 



New methods of cultivation and the growth of new crops. 

 The practical value of new implements and machinery. 

 Difficulties in the growth and treatment of orchard and 

 garden produce. 



The deterioration and possible improvement of pasture.
