Abstract
A STRONG Committee was appointed in August last to report to the Secretary of State for the Colonies upon the desirability of establishing a tropical agricultural college in the West Indies and upon fnatters connected therewith. Its report has just appeared, and is one which may be fraught with important results for the future of agriculture in our extensive tropical Dependencies, more especially in the West Indies, where, thanks to the work of the Imperial Department of Agriculture, general agricul¬tural prosperity has in the last two decades been placed upon a much sounder footing. It is significant of the trend of modern practice that a Committee like this, composed of planters, commercial magnates, and scientific men, as well as administrative officials, should have reported unanimously in favour of the establishment of such a college.
