Abstract
THE criticism is frequently made that the investigations of colleges and research institutes are not reported to the farmer in a form that can be easily understood. To meet this need, and at the same time to make the work of the College more widely known, Seale-Hayne Agricultural College, Newton Abbot, Devon, is issuing an annual in which it is hoped to deal with a wide variety of subjects in a manner likely to prove of real value to the practical man. The first number has just been published. It contains articles on the chemical composition of broccoli, potato eelworm, varieties of winter oat, and on the animal husbandry side, efficiency factors in the production of bacon pigs, milk production costs and the building up of a tuberculosis-free dairy herd. A list of investigations in progress at the College and of pamphlets already published is appended. Though of particular value to farmers and growers in the south-west of England, the volume will no doubt be also of interest to agriculturists in other districts.
