Abstract
THE appearance of an official organ of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland marks an important development in the activity of that body, which, though created but six years ago, has already accomplished much good work in the development and guidance of agriculture and forestry north of the Border. On the educational side of its work it has co-ordinated under its aagis the agricultural colleges and other educational agencies with a success which is noted with warm approval in the report of the Agricultural Sub-Committee of the Reconstruction Committee. Much useful information has also been furnished for the Scottish farmer in the annual reports and leaflets issued by the Board. Its rapidly growing activities rendered inevitable, however, the creation of some more suitable medium of publication of matters of general interest to the agricultural community, and this has been found in the new journal, of which the first three quarterly issues are now available. In appearance and general character the Journal is not unlike the older-established Journal of the English Board, but the resemblance is little more than superficial, and the design to cater for the specific needs of Scotland is clearly evident throughout.
