Excerpt from The Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists: Addresses and Discussions at the Organizing Convention, Ottawa, June 2, 3 and 4, 1920
It is now six months since the Organizing Convention of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists was held in Ottawa. The delay in printing a report of the proceedings has been a necessary one. The complete manuscript did not reach the General Secretary until July 15th; the material was then forwarded to the various speakers for revision, and on account of delays of one kind and another, was not all returned until September 15th. At that date the finances of the Society would not permit publication. Negotiations had, however, been completed with the Industrial and Educational Publishing Company in regard to the publication of an "official organ" of the Society, and the publishers agreed recently to proceed with the printing of the Convention report without charge.
The report is not a complete one. Considerable discussion, particularly in regard to the Constitution and By-Laws, has been omitted as being unimportant or of little interest at this date. The constitution and by-laws, personnel of committees and resolutions, are also omitted. This information has already been printed in booklet form and mailed to members. Additional copies will be furnished upon request.
The first issue of "Scientific Agriculture," which it is hoped will continue indefinitely to be the official organ of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists, will be published in January next, and monthly thereafter. Its first Editor is the General Secretary of the Society, so that the connection between the C. S. T. A. and the publishers is a very close one. It should be possible to so adjust the two lines of work that the Editor - as Secretary - can obtain full co-operation from the members of the Society, and the Secretary - as Editor - can give to the Society the benefit of publicity channels which are already established.
Steps are now being taken to appoint an Editorial Board, the personnel of which will be made up of two experts in each of the following divisions of agriculture - animal husbandry, bacteriology, botany, cereal husbandry, chemistry, dairying, entomology, genetics, horticulture and veterinary science. Possibly the divisions of rural economics, rural engineering and rural sociology will also be added. The Editorial Board will be a consultative body to whom technical material received for publication can be referred.
Communications in reference to the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists or its official organ, should be addressed "Fred H. Grindley, Gardenvale, P. Q."
