Journal. 
Earl Cathcart (Chairman) re- 
ported that the arrangements for the 
next number of the Journal had been 
discussed and settled. An exchange 
of publications with the German Agri- 
cultural Society (Deutsche Landwirth- 
schaft-Gesellschaft) had been ar- 
ranged. A request by the East Suf- 
folk Technical Instruction Committee 
for permission to reprint a note by 
Mr. A. J. Smith on the technical 
training of stockmen, which it was 
hoped to publish in the next number of 
the Journal, had been granted on the 
usual conditions. The Secretary had 
reported the receipt from the widow 
of the late Colonel Picton Turbervill 
of a cheque for 501. in respect of his 
contributions of 251. per annum for 
the years 1890 and 1891. The Com- 
mittee proposed to consider at a 
future meeting the purposes to which 
this grant could be most usefully ap- 
plied. The Committee had considered 
the reference made to them at the 
last meeting of Council as to the con- 
tinuance of the competitions for farms 
in the districts of the Society’s Meet- 
ings. The whole question of farm 
competitions appeared to the Com- 
mittee to require very careful con- 
sideration, and they had therefore 
ordered a memorandum on the sub- 
ject prepared by the Secretary to be 
printed, with a view to their bringing 
up a final report after their next 
meeting. ' 
Chemical. 
Mr. Warren presented the report 
of this Committee, dealing with vari- 
ous matters connected with the labo- 
ratory, and also the Committee’s 
quarterly report. The report of the 
AVoburn Sub-committee had been 
received and adopted. 
On the motion of Sir. AVarren, the 
quarterly report of the Chemical Com- 
mittee was adopted and ordered to be 
published in the next number of the 
Journal, together with the memo- 
randum jircpared for the information 
of the Departmental Committee on 
Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs, upon 
tlic ] last action of tlie Society in re- 
gard to the repression of adulteration 
of manures and feeding stuffs (see 
page 347).
