Abstract
AT a time like the present, more than usual interest attaches to any attempts to derive economic advantage from applied science. At the annual paper-reading conference held at the Meteorological Office on Sept. 25 and 26 last under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, all the papers had direct or indirect applications in this direction. The subject of agricultural meteorology is one of those which, through its hybrid nature, is apt to be regarded as the business of neither the meteorologist nor the agriculturist, and it was a recognition of this fact that led to the inauguration a few years ago of the crop-weather scheme and of these annual conferences, where the two classes of investigator can meet and pool the knowledge gained in their special subjects.
