Abstract
IT is now twenty-nine years since the great forward step was taken which for the first time made agricultural research on any important scale possible in Great Britain. In 1910 Mr. Lloyd George set up the Development Commission, charged with the duty of developing agriculture and provided with an endowment fund which avoided the necessity of asking Parliament for money each year: it was thus able to take long views and to carry out important work which might otherwise have been impossible.
