Excerpt from The Dominion Experimental Farms: A Review 1886-1912
Sir: -
I have the honour to submit, for your approval, the accompanying review of the work of the Dominion Experimental Farms.
This presents in abridged form the principal accomplishments of the Experimental Farms during the quarter of a century in which Dr. William Saunders was the Director.
In its preparation reports and bulletins have been carefully gone through, the Director and the heads of Divisions have been freely consulted and no pains have been spared to search out from among the great mass of work accomplished the more outstanding results achieved.
This review, which has been prepared by Mr. J. B. Spencer. B. S. A., Editor of the Publications Branch, brings out in clear relief many lessons that will be helpful to the busy agriculturist who for want of time finds it impossible to thoroughly study the more exhaustive bulletins and reports issued by the Experimental Farms.
During the past year many new developments in the Farms system have taken place. These are described at greater or less length. It is hoped that this review will enable the rank and file of farmers in every province of the Dominion to still further profit by the work of the Experimental Farms which are equipped and carried on for their especial benefit.
