' The Profes sor proposes also, as an incidental means of encouragement, that Congrera, after the I imposition of the duty ' aforesaid, should "give to the Department of Agri culture the means to erect proper reeling machinery, . and to introduce properly trained reelers, so ai to form a nucleus Tmtras m general.
