NOTICES TO FELLOWS. 
CCVli 
President and Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have pre- 
pared a list of those who are willing to serve on local Food Production 
Committees, and to give advice, or lectures, or demonstrations, in 
their own neighbourhoods to Societies of Allotment holders, or to 
classes of school children having gardens. The Panel now contains 
upwards of 1,000 names, and numberless requests for their help are 
being received. All unavoidable expense will be defrayed by the 
Society, Committee, or Association making request for such help. 
All who are able, willing, and competent to give such help are 
requested to communicate with the Secretary, R.H.S., Vincent 
Square, S.W. I. 
A circulating lecture on the Preparation of the Soil and the Cultiva- 
tion of Vegetable Crops, illustrated by lantern slides, has been prepared 
by the Society, and can be hired for 5s., the Society paying carriage 
one way. 
Attached to this Panel are also a number of itinerant Advisers, 
Lecturers, and Demonstrators who will be sent to neighbourhoods 
and districts where there is no one acting voluntarily. 
Arrangements have now been made for Lectures and Demonstra* 
tions on Fruit and Vegetable Bottling and Preserving to be given 
all over the country this season. Anyone who may be prepared 
to organize and be responsible for the holding of a Meeting for 
such a purpose should communicate at once with the Secretary, 
R.H.S., Vincent Square, S.W. 1, giving full particulars, such as 
(1) where the Meeting will be held, (2) the date suggested, (3) the 
number expected to be present, (4) what bottles and apparatus can 
you supply. As long a notice as is anyway possible must be given, 
as applications will be numerous.
