§ MR.LUTTRELL (Devon, Tavistock)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether it is the case that fanners' clubs, agricultural societies, and other similar bodies can now be supplied with the publications of the Board at cheap rates for gratuitous distribution to their members?
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. II.GARDNER,) Essex, Saffron WaldenI am glad to say that the Treasury have authorised the Board of Agriculture to supply Chambers of Agriculture, Agricultural Societies, Farmers' Clubs, Village Institutes, and other similar bodies, with certain of our Departmental Publications at half price, provided that not less than 20 copies are taken, and that they are intended for gratuitous distribution to members. I propose to issue a Circular Letter to the institutions concerned in the course of a few days, and I hope that the arrangement will result in a much wider dissemination than at present of the publications in question.
