dictate summaries of the remarks of the various delegates to 
stenographers, afterwards, allowing the delegates to whom remarks 
were attributed a chance at .a later date to make such addi 
tions and - amendments as they desired. In certain instances, 
especially if anyone wished to deliver a prepared statement on any of 
the items, then, of course, a stenographic note would be useful and 
could be taken; such arrangements could always be made by the 
various Chairmen, who would have full discretion in such matters. 
The Conference unanimously adopted His Excellency’s proposals 
and agreed that the various sections should start work on fhe items 
of the agenda already circulated at 9 a.m. on the succeeding day. 
His Excellency said he had one further suggestion to make and 
that was that as the public were interested in this Conference it would 
be advisable for the Secretary to be given discretion to make com. 
munications from time to time to the Press. 
The Conference unanimously adopted this proposal. 
Subsequently work was started in sections, joint meetings being 
held when subjects of interest affecting more than one particular 
section were being discussed. 
In order that the subsequent proceedings may be the more easily 
followed, they have been divided up into four parts: — 
AGRICULTURE. 
COTTON. 
ENTOMOLOGY AND MYCOLOGY. 
GENERAL. 
Remarks have been added against the various items in these 
four Parts, showing whether they were discussed by one or more 
Sections. After Part V., General, appears a Summary of the more 
important Conclusions and Recommendations which were adopted by 
the whole Conference and also the concluding speech by the 
Chairman and the final Resolution. 
With a view to making the daily work of the Sections of the 
Conference and the scope of the proceedings apparent, this chapter is 
followed immediately by the Agenda prepared for the whole 
Conference.
