Abstract
THE Agricultural Research Council is to work in the closest co-operation with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Agriculture for Scotland in connexion with research and investigations into problems that may ariso from the food production campaign. Since March last a committee of the Agricultural Research Council has had under examination the programmes of research and the qualifications of the staffs of agricultural research institutes from the point of view of an emergency. It will be the function of the Council now to guide the research at these institutes into the special agricultural problems arising out of war conditions. For this purpose the chairman of the Agricultural Research Council (Sir Thomas Middleton) has, with the approval of the Lord President of the Council, appointed a small executive committee, which will keep all members of the Council in close touch with the situation.
