nish matter for the coming
report to be as brief as possi-
ble and to make these matters
show a clear and manifest-
bearing on the immediate
necessities of the farmers and
horticulturalists of the state. I
find that we have been accused
of taking the opportunity which
a report from us to get essays into
print which are of interest to sci-
entists only.

Yours very truly,

A.S. Webb

I perhaps ought to say that Prof.
Hatker agreed to send sketches
of the building he wanted but I have
not as yet heard from him.
