Abstract
THE Royal Agricultural Society of England (16 Bedford Square, W.C.I) has issued the seventh of its series of annual summaries of scientific and economic research (1s. 3d. post free). The volume deals mainly with work carried out in Great Britain but also includes the results of colonial and foreign investigations so far as they have a bearing on British agriculture. This year the publication has been issued under a new title, namely, “The Farmer's Guide to Agricultural Research in 1931” in place of “Agricultural Research”, by which it has been known hitherto. The change has been made in order to emphasise the main object of the publication, which is to provide the farmer with the most up-to-date information in all the leading branches of agriculture in a summarised and simple form. Apart from the title, the character of the volume remains unaltered, except that the section on crop and plant breeding is temporarily suspended and a new section on pests and parasites is included. The remaining sections, on dairy farming and dairy work, prevention and treatment of diseases of animals, farm economics, the feeding of live stock, farm implements and machinery, and soils and manures need only be cited to show how wide is the field of inquiry covered. Since each section is prepared by a recognised authority on the subject, the publication cannot fail to be of interest and practical value to the farmer, agricultural organiser and student.
