Abstract
THE British Association announces a conference on “European Agriculture: Scientific Problems in Post-War Reconstruction”, arranged under the auspices of the Division for the Social and International Relations of Science as a matter arising out of the recent conference on Science and World Order. This agricultural conference will be held on Friday and Saturday, March 13 and 14, in the rooms of the Royal Society, Burlington House, London, W.I. There will be morning and afternoon sessions on each day, and British and foreign experts will deal with such subjects as the immediate technical steps necessary for reconstruction, settlement, marketing and prices, farm and factory, nutrition, the cooperative system, land reforms, peasant prosperity, excess population, peasant education, the improvement of peasant farming, livestock problems, artificial insemination, milk production, market gardening, and the relations of European agriculture to world conditions. A regional survey of European agriculture is contemplated, inasmuch as it is felt that many of the problems of reconstruction may be better viewed regionally than within the limits of political divisions. The chair of the opening and closing sessions will be taken by Sir John Russell ; the names of other chairmen and of speakers will ' be announced when the programme is complete. Further particulars can be obtained from the Secretary, British Association, Burlington House, London, W.I.
