Mr. G. H. Clark, Seed Commissioner, Department of Agriculture, appeared be fore the committee and delivered the following address: Hon. Mr. Greenway and gentlemen, -as this is the first time I have had the honour of appearing before you, perhaps you will permit me to refer brie?y to the train ing I had before I took up the work in which I am now engaged. Except for the time that I was attending the common and high schools, the first twenty-five years of my experience was obtained on the farm, near Brantford, Ont., where I was born. I entered the Agricultural College at Guelph in February, 1896, and graduated in June, 1898, when I was given a position on the staff under Professor Zavitz, who has charge of the experiments in field crops. I received a letter from my late esteemed chief, Prof. Robert son, in March, 1900, stating that I had been recommended to him to take the work of which I now have direct charge as Seed Commissioner.
