Abstract
WHEN, in 1912, Section M held its first meeting, my presidential address was upon the early improvers of husbandry, and I referred especially to the assistance given to agriculture through the societies and associations formed by them for promoting experiments and discussion. Section M was the latest addition to associations of the kind, and we who were then present looked forward with expectation to the benefit agricultural science would get from the formation of the new section. In spite of the calamity of the War of 1914–18 and the unrest in the world which has since developed, I feel sure that, in returning to Dundee where that first meeting was held twenty-seven years ago, all will agree that the hopes then formed have been more than fulfilled by the progress of Section M.
