Abstract
ON p. 60 of this issue we refer to some addresses which were given to the National Veterinary Medical Association of Great Britain and Ireland at its sixty-first annual general meeting in London last September. These addresses, and the discussions which followed them, make it clear that the veterinary profession is—and always must be—of fundamental importance to the health of man and to the progress; of his civilization. In times like our own, when the basic importance of nutrition is being so often and so rightly emphasized by responsible authorities all over the world, it will scarcely be denied that without successful agriculture our post-war reconstruction will not succeed; and it will not be denied, that the key to successful agriculture is a fertile soil. An important condition of soil fertility is the maintenance of a healthy livestock to fertilize it. Both the. veterinary surgeon and the farmer are, therefore, key men of the future. They must always work in collaboration.
