RURAL RESEARCH.
NEED FOR STATE ENCOURAGEMENT. By Cablo—Proas Association—Copyright. Auitraliaa and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 6, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 6. At the Agricultural Conference, Lord Lovat presiding, said he regretted the Empire shortage of candidates for agricultural research. He advocated scholarships on the lines of those of Colonial Service in the Empire Cottongrowing Association, also the pooling of results iuter-imperially. Mr Julius (Australia), while paying a tribute to the Commonwealth’s provision of scholarships, pointed out that private enterprise was more attractive financially. Tile best men were going to other professions, and the worst to agriculture research, which suffered, not only from the inadequacy of prizes, but also from the national failure to recognise the fundamental importance. Mr Richardson (Australia) said the Commonwealth was willing to cooperate with the Empire in establishing a chain of research stations.
