EMPIRE AGRICULTURE.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. CHAIN OF STATIONS PLAN. (Received October 7, 7.35 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, Oct 6. The Imperial Agricultural Research Conference to-day continued the discussions on the tecniitment, training and interchange of research workers, and the establishment of a chain of research stations in the Empire. Mr. G. A. Julius, an Australian delegate, declared the proposal of Lord Lovat's Committee, approved by the Colonial Office, to use the Imperial Insti tute as a clearing house, would involve half-yearly reports from agricultural departments. In this respect he agreed with the Australian Research Council's letter stating this would be inconvenient and undesirable. He suggested the appointment of an Imperial Advisory Board in London. Sir Daniel Hall and others supported Mr. Julius. Lord Lovat, Parliamentary UnderSecretary to the Dominions office, explained that the Imperial Institute was the only organisation dealing with Em pile products. It was in close touch with trade, giving reality to research, which was otherwise lacking.
