Street merchant, but he had received letters from the 
Secretary of Agriculture and other gentlemen in Canada 
in which the matter had been referred to and he thought 
it his duty therefore to bring it forward. He had been 
told that Canadian flour would not keep and that it 
made bread too spongy. They were trying to bring 
their staple produ6l to the notice of Canada and as a 
matter of inter-colonial courtesy he thought they should 
enquire into this matter. He would suggest that the 
Committee be composed of Messrs. F. A. R. Winter, 
B. S. Bayley, Thos. Daly, R. W. Edwards, Prof. J. B. 
Harrison and the President. 
Mr. Watt seconded the motion and proposed that Mr. 
Mackay be added to the Committee. 
After a short discussion the motion was carried unani- 
mously together with the proposed Committee. 
It was agreed also that the Committee put themselves 
in communication with Captain McLeod, Agent for 
Canada. 
In the absence of Mr. W. P. Abell, his communication 
in re Megass Firemen was left over. 
On the suggestion of Mr. Watt the Assistant Secre- 
tary was directed to apply to the Government for a copy 
of the Report of the Commission on Opening up the 
Country, and bring it before the next meeting. 
A letter from the Government Secretary was read, 
informing the Society that Dr. Hermann Paasche, Pro- 
fessor of Agriculture at Marburg University, intended to 
visit the colony to study the details of the sugar industry. 
His Excellency the Governor desired that the Society 
would afford him every assistance possible in the obje6l 
of his mission.
