cultural Societj of England, the Highland and Agricultural 
Societv of Scotland, and other local societies, have done much 
to protect their members from such practices, but we think that 
the same protection should be given to farmers br including in 
the duties of the countv analysts that of analysing such of the 
articles referred to as are not now the subject of analvsis bv 
them. 
We also recommend that steps should be taken to ensure that 
all agricidtural products, whether manufactured at home or 
abroad, for consumption by the public or for use bv the farmer 
in his business, should be sold under such designations as will 
accurately indicate their true composition.

We are of opinion that, notwithstanding the beneficial effects 
of the Agricultural Holdings Act, there are many parts of Great 
Britain in which no sufficient compensation lor his unexhausted 
improvements is secured to the tenant. In manv cases landlords 
have not offered, and tenants have omitted to ask for, the fair 
compensation which we believe it is the interest of both that 
the tenant should enjov, and to which we think he is entitled. 
In some counties and districts this compensation is given by 
established customs, in others such customs are insuflBcient, or 
do not exist. 
Upon the most careful consideration of the evidence before 
us, we have arrived at the conclusion that further legislative 
provision should be made for securing to tenants the compen- 
sation to which thev are equitably entitled in respect of their 
utlay, and we recommend that the principles of the Agricultural 
Holdings Act relating to compensation should be made com- 
pulsory in all cases where such compensation is not otherwise 
provided for. 
It would, however, in our opinion be advisable so far to 
amend the provisions of the Act as to make the compensation 
epend upon the additional value given to the holding. And 
e wish it to be understood that no compensation shoidd be 
quired to be paid by the landlord or incoming tenant except 
. jT outlays which are valuable to him in the future cultivation 
of the farm. 
It having been represented to us that in Scotland diflBculties 
arise connected with arbitrations between landlord and tenant 
ri a change of tenancy, and between outgoing and incoming
