Abstract
SIR JOHN RUSSELL, stressing, in his address to the le Play Society at Oxford on December 31, the importance of adequate preparatory experimental work before developments such as the groundnut scheme are undertaken, is reported (The Times, January 1) as having said that the scientific and technical staff of the scheme "never really had a chance to do their work properly" and that they were "not allowed the necessary time" to make small-scale experiments to discover the snags and difficulties of the scheme. He is also said to have stated that "those who had been experimenting" in the scheme "were very disappointed with the results".
