lo The Journal of the Royal 
quest to be informed on agricultural subje6ls, the staff of 
the Botanic Gardens should be utilised for the purpose, 
and — 
" Second— That the Imperial Agricultural Department 
for the West Indies should be asked to assist in this 
matter by making arrangements for experts to visit this 
colony and give instru6lion on such subje6ls as 'the 
Treatment of Live Stock,' * Dairies and Dairy Manage- 
ment,' ' Poultry Keeping,' * Bee Keeping,' &c."

Honorary Secretary, 
Agricultural Committee. 
The Vice-President (Hon, B. H. Jones) moved the 
adoption of the report. The Agricultural Committee, hg 
said, in recommending that the staff of the Botanic 
Gardens be utilised, thought it was the most reasonable 
way of carrying out the proposed agricultural advice and 
instru6lion. If they went beyond that and proposed special 
experts the expense would be too great. Mr. Jenman 
and his assistants were capable men and he had always 
found them willing to give advice when asked. Then 
they had in the Imperial Department at Barbados, a 
Central Board of Agriculture, which could help in the 
way indicated by the Committee. He might mention 
the case of Messrs. Terrill who had gone in for bee. 
keeping, with the result, that excellent honey was now 
to be obtained from them. 
The Honorary Secretary seconded. 
The President said the Government were making 
strong efforts to promote an interest jn Agriculture and 
to make the people see what the soil could produce. 
The report was adopted.
