The current issue of the Journal GB contains the Proceedings of the 17th Annual Conference of the Society held in December 1956 at Cuttack. The Conference was attended 39 by nearly 130 members from Central and State Governments, Universities 39 and Research Institutions. The subjects chosen tO for discussion at the Conference were : 1) Pattern of Employment 14 of Hired Labour in Agriculture in India. 2) Effectiveness of Provision 50 in the Tenancy Legislation for (i) Security of Tenure and (ii) Improvement 52 in Tenurial Status of Tenants. 3) Trends in the Operation 50 Techniques and Organisation of Agricultural Marketing in India. 52 An unusually large number of papers were received and read on Subject I, while on the other two subjects also there were select contributions. The level of discussions was maintained at the usual high level.

Unlike the previous Conference, it was not possible to arrange for a tape- recorder to record the discussion. Instead, arrangements were made to take down notes of the discussion by stenographers. However, notes have not been taken of the speeches of all the participants in the discussion. Hence, the dis- cussion part on the respective subjects contain only reports which could be made available.

We take this opportunity of thanking the Utkal University under whose auspices the Conference met. We specially record our grateful thanks to Dr. S. Misra, the Local Secretary of the Conference, who had made excellent arrangements and to the Members of the Reception Committee for their generous hospitality.
