The recommendations contained in Mr. F. L. Engledow's Report on the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture in Trinidad have been reviewed by the Governing Body of the College and will shortly be considered by the Empire Marketing Board, on whose behalf Mr. Engledow visited Trinidad. Twenty-one diploma students are at present attending courses at the college; 21 past students of the college have received appointments in Colonial Agricultural Departments during the year 1929.
