I think you realise that I will be able to give only the merest sketch of a subject of such dimensions as "Grassland Work Overseas". A good deal of it has already been touched upon by Dr Hilgendorf, who has dealt with some of the Overseas Work on Ryegrass selection, so I will just try and bring forward some of the points I think may bear on other phases of grassland work being carried on in New Zealand. After all, we have to recognise that grass is one of the most important factors in human existence, Somebody once said - "After air, light and water, the next most important thing is grass". We know it exists in all lands to some extent, but there is no country in the World so dependent on grass as New Zealand.
