(Assistant Principal, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries).
“This book has been prepared under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture
and Fisheries, the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, and the Ministry of Agri-
culture for Northern Ireland. It reviews the wide range of scientific investigation
in agriculture and horticulture carried out in this country during the past few
years, The account is written in clear and interesting style, and besides being
eminently readable, is scientifically accurate. The book is well illustrated.
The Times, in a leading article, says: * The readers for whom this book is
primarily intended will find in its many chapters a careful and suggestive review
of the outcome of recent enquiries into the everyday problems of the great
industry to which their lives are devoted. . . . . ‘The soundness of the
view which Mr. Wilkins takes of the whole position can hardly fail to win the
farmer’s approval.”
