| Summary: | This report follows Hanley's second trip to Newfoundland at the request of the Commission of Government to assess the state of agriculture, an industry overlooked and underdeveloped on the island. On his first trip, Hanley was only able to report on areas east of Grand Falls; this time he was able to assess the entire island. The author noted that many of the recommendations he made in his first report had been implemented, but there was much more that could be done. This second report again describes issues facing farmers in Newfoundland, and potential solutions to those problems. The report concludes with text of a speech Hanley made over the radio to Newfoundlanders explaining how the difficulties with providing food and clothing (and their associated costs) could be greatly reduced by decreasing imports of both through increasing agricultural activities.
