Abstract
ON many occasions since Lord Bledisloe became Governor-General of New Zealand in 1930, we have referred to stimulating addresses delivered by him on applications of scientific knowledge to agricultural and other industries, and to economic and social problems. In all his addresses, the great importance of research has been emphasised and the results of investigations carried out in Great Britain and in other parts of the world have been brought before the people of the Dominion. This has been particularly the case with agriculture, on which subject Lord Bledisloe is himself a high authority. It is gratifying, therefore, to learn from a message from the Wellington (N.Z.) correspondent of The Times, that more than 54,000 dairy-farmers have subscribed to an address from their industry recording his thorough understanding of their problems and his assistance in solving them. Scientific societies and the newspaper Press in the Dominion have similarly expressed grateful appreciation of his wise counsel and practical guidance.
