The commission consisted of the foremost scientific farmers and agri- tural educationists in Scotland, men renowned as breeders and stock raisers. The most striking proposal in their report is the flotation 01 ~a company to establish a farming in- dustry on alarge scale in this coun- try, operating with Scottish labor, and by means of Scottish capital, using the, land to» the best practical advantage in the raising of stock and the production of crops, provid- ing employment (or young Scotsmen from the farming districts, instruct- aayIambiddingtortx-ade.
