Rambong. He referred also to the series of Agricultural Shows 
inaugurated by the Government, the next of which is to be held in 
Penang in August, saying that the Association should use every en- 
deavour not only by its influence as a body of agriculturalists but 
also individually to make the Show a success, 
Mr. STOTHARD proposed that the President with Messrs. BOYD 
and Crawford form the Committee to go into these matters and 
arrange who are to be the Judges to award the prizes for the best 
essays on Rubber. 
Seconded by Mr. J. Moir and carried. 
The President said that he was sure we must all hail with great 
satisfaction the growing interest which' was being taken in agricul- 
tural matters by the Press of the Colony. Hardworking agricultur- 
alists did not, unfortunately, often bring forward their views in the 
new spapers, but they fully recognized the necessity for its being 
done here and appreciated the efforts made in that direction. 
He instanced Ceylon, from which country the “ Tropical Agricul- 
turalist and many other valuable publications emanate as being a 
striking instance of the development of agriculture due in no small 
measure to the influence of the Press.
