NEW, FACILITIES AT WINCHMORE.—This concrete block building being erected at Winchmore irrigation research station will include a drying room and laboratory-workshop. A Unitherm drier, worth about £600, will be installed in the drying room. This is expected greatly to facilitate determination-of dry matter production in samples, of which more than 5000 were submitted in the last season. The drier will dry 128 samples in six hours in the one process. In the past, in a two-stage system involving drying down to a certain stage in a drying tunnel and completion of the process in an oven, 35 samples have been handled in 24 hours.
