The latest report of the Dominion Minister of Agriculture is just to hand. It covers the year ending March, 1926. _ Thus, its information is practically about 1925 matters chiefly. It is regrettable that such reports are not issued within a month or two of the end of the period coverâ€" ed. There does not seem to be a valid reason why they should not be so issued.
