Abstract
THIS is an account of a visit, arranged under the auspices of the Essex Technical Instruction Committee, made by the Essex farmers' party to Hungary in May and June of this year. The tour was conducted by Mr. Dymond, the lecturer in agricultural chemistry in the Essex County Technical Laboratories at Chelmsford. It would appear from these pages that excellent results are likely to follow the opportunities then given to Essex farmers to acquaint themselves with agricultural methods in Hungary. The visitors were impressed by the good farming, the abundant grain and forage crops, the breeding of excellent horses and cattle, the organisation of agricultural industries and the complete measures taken by the State to foster agricultural improvements of every kind. One of the pleasantest pieces of reading in the volume is that describing the hearty welcome extended to the party by the Hungarian authorities and people generally. A guide book, edited by the Minister of Agriculture, containing an itinerary of the journey planned under his direction, and descriptions in English of Hungarian agriculture, was, at Vienna, presented to each visitor. The party was accompanied throughout the fortnight's journey by Mr. Gyorgy, Dr. Goger and Mr. Szilassy, who, as Hungarian experts in agriculture, gave invaluable assistance.
