Abstract
MR. T. S. DYMOND, who has charge of the agricultural education in the county of Essex, has published a valuable little pamphlet on the State aid given to agriculture in Denmark and Hungary, two countries with which he is personally familiar. Both countries can show great gains to the farming industry during the past ten or twenty years, mainly the result of improved education and organisation, but they present an interesting contrast in the way the work has been done. In Denmark the initiative has come from the individual; the State has simply stepped in and assisted whatever institutions for education and research had been started by the people themselves. It is true the Government has founded and liberally endowed the Royal Agricultural and Veterinary College at Copenhagen, and also maintains the higher research stations, but to the cooperative societies and other commercial developments, which have done so much for Danish agriculture, it gives little or no direct help.
