§ Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is proposed to continue experiments in crop-drying this year; and whether the advice and help of the Institute of Agricultural Engineering has been sought and obtained?
§ Sir J. GILMOURExperiments in crop-drying were carried out by each of the Agricultural Colleges in Scotland in 1925 with the machinery devised by the Institute of Agricultural Engineering. Arrangements for the experiments were made on the suggestion of and with the assistance of the Crop-Drying Company, Limited, to whom the commercial exploitation of the system developed by the Institute of Agricultural Engineering was entrusted. I understand the colleges do not propose to continue the experiments this year.
