Abstract
THE Genetical Society held a symposium on the "Application of Genetics to Plant and Animal Breeding" in London on April 13. The president, Dr. C. D. Darlington, in opening the meeting, said that genetics owes a debt to plant and animal breeding both for its foundation and its development. If the purpose of agriculture in the future is to be the highest production, genetics will have the opportunity of repaying this debt. The object of the symposium was to discuss whether genetics has the capacity to do so.
