Abstract
BRITISH agriculture, in most of its aspects, will come into prominent notice next week. The great show at Kilburn, coming as it does just now at a time of great depression for farming at home, ought to teach us some useful lessons. It should tell us that the days of rule of thumb, the days in which we did as our fathers did are over. New means, new methods, new materials, new economies, new crops, must be associated with wider views of what the world wants and with more precise knowledge of what our little islands can best supply.
