Abstract
THE second report of the Empire Marketing Board, covering the period May 1927—May 1928, which has just been published by H.M. Stationery Office (price Is.), is a further indication of the importance which the Home Government now attaches to scientific research in connexion with the development of the resources of the Empire. The Empire Marketing Board was established in 1926 for “the furtherance of the marketing of Empire produce in the United Kingdom,” and realised from the first that success depended largely upon the support given to scientific research and economic investigations and their extension to new fields. In last year's report the Board could only indicate its first approaches to the network of problems with which it was faced. Its tentative policy had still to be endorsed by the British overseas governments. It had still to stimulate those governments to create the necessary local machinery for the co-ordination of research and the application of newly won knowledge to the better production and marketing of Empire crops.
