FIRST ]IMPORTATION 0F SHORTHORNS PAID In 1834 Felix and Josiah Renick, and E. J. Harness o! Ohio went to England to buy pure-bred cattle. They compared the clîmate and soils and grasses o! England with those of Ohio. They studied the production records of various breeds and finally decîded to gam- ble ail the money entrusted to them by the Ohio Importing Com- pany on a single strain-tl¶e Shorthorn. Nineteen head of Shorthorns were brought to Ohio by the Renicks and Harness, the first imported into North Amer- ica. More were imported in suc- ceeding years. In August, 1836, whcn it was considered the ani- mals were sufficîently accimated and their dietary habits thorough- iy understood, a public auction was held at t)ýe Renicks' farm in Rose County. The entîre herd soid at an average o! $803.25, en- abiing the Ohio Impprting Com- pany to declare a dividend o! $280 per share on its stock.-From "Two Billion Acre Farm" an in- formai history o!

The Food and Agriculture Or- ganizatior, o! the United Nations, commonly called FAO, which has iust finished its first worid con- ference in Quebec City, grewv out o! an idea expresed in the Atlan- Jec Charter o! a peace "which wil -fford assurance that ail the men in ail the lands may live out their lives in !recdom !rom fcar and want." The next step was in May 1943, when 44 united associatcd nations wcrc invited by the President o! the United States to send repre- sentatives to a conference on food and agriculture at Hot Springs, Virginia. The Conference lasted from May 18 to June 3. Can- ada took a leadlng part, and among the delegates !rom ail the nations were some o! the best- known world authorities on agri- culture, food, and nutrition. The delegates made recommendations with respect to dietary standards, agricultural production, market- ing and distribution and other matters relevant to attaining their goal o! frcedom from want. Being convinced that the recommenda- tions could be carried out only through a permanent world body working in co-ordination with other international organizations, the delegates recommended that an Interim Commission should be set up to formulate a specific plan for such an organization. On July 15, 1943, six wecks af- ter the end o! the prciiminary conference; the Interim Commis- sion, headed by L. B. Pearson, now Canadian Ambassador to the United States, began its work in Washington. So effectively was the work donc that on October 16, 1945, the permanent Food and Ag- riculture Organization came into being, and with the signatures of the allied and associated nations, the work o! the Intcrim Commis- sion automnatically ceased to ex- ist. Task of FAO The task of FAO (Food and Ag- riculture Organization o! the Un- ited Nations) is not to soive the world's food problems but to heip the nations individually and col- lectively to solve their own by supplying them with the requisite information, advice, and encour- agement. FAO has no legisiative or executive powers and !ew ad- ministrative ones. It cannot co- erce anyone. It will simply serve as a world centre for the exchange o! knowledgc. The responsibiiity for making use o! that knowiedge lies with the nations themselves. NEW VARIETY 0F OATS PROVE SATISFACTORY The new variety Beaver which was distributed for the first time by the Cereal Division, Central Experimental Farms in the spring o! 1945, has, in general, shown up quite well in' spite o! unusually severe growing conditions, says R. A. Derick, Cereal Division, Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. A very hieavy infection o! leaf rust was general throughout Eas- tern Canada, even in areas norm- aily more or less free from this disease. Severe damage, howcv- er, was much worsc on the later sown crops. IJamnage !rom stem rust was much more iocalized and could in most cases De traced dir- ectly to barberry bushes in the vicinity. Beaver oats is the result o! a cross between Vanguard and Er- ban and combines the qualities o! the two parents. It is medium eariy maturing, has fair length and strength o! straw, yîeids well and produces a kernel o! good size and fair quaiity. Beaver has the samne degree o! resistance to stem rust as Vanguard and to leaf rust as Erban. Previous to 1945, the degree o! rust resistance carried by the parent varieties as well as Beaver was sufficient insurance against severe attacks of the pre- vailing races o! both rusts in Eastern Canada. The sudden in- crease in 1945, however, of new races o! both rusts to which neith- er parents o! Beaver is resistant, coupled with the extremely fav- ourable conditions for rust devel- opmcnt, was largely responsible for the rust damage to Beaver, this year. Farmers' tests with Beaver numbering over 80 in 1945 were widely scattered in Ontario and reports so far reviewcd are, in general, quite satisfactory. Over 1,400 bushels o! seed o! Bèaver oats were distributed to seed growcrs in Ontario in the spring o! 1945 and it is cstimated that between 20 and 30 thousand bu- shels o! seed fromn this source will be available to growers for the 1946 crop.

Durham Potato Club At Banquet in Bethany 4 Durham County 500 Bushel Po- * tato Club was organized for the second year this spring with 16 potato growers competing. The climax of this contest will take blace at Bethany on Friday, Nov. 30th, at 6:30 p.m., with a fowl dinner. Announcement of stand- ing and presentation of prizes wil] be part of the program. E. K. CL£ Hampson, Hamilton, will be guest speaker. Mr. Hampson is very much interested in the potato 15grc.wers and especially with those of Durham County as he was Ag- ricultural Representative in Dur- ham County about 20 years ago. Women's Association of United Church, Bethany, is serving a fowl dinner. They cannot ac- commodate more than 125. Tick- ets may be had from A. John- ston, E. Cavano, H. Blakely, C. Hudson, Pontypool; D. Olan, Mill- brook, M. Dunbar, Port Hope; and F. Dorland, Burketon. THE QUESTION IS, WILL SOLDIERS HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? (NT The King government is buying land for soldiers under the Vet- S erans Land Act. Just east of Bowmanville a small acreage was bought to erect houses under this scheme. The price paid for the land was $125 per acre. And it is reported that the houses being erected, with an acre o! land each, will be off ered to returned men at $6,000 per unit. The scheme is in effect ail across Canada and the prices for land show wide varia- tions. Here is an item from Hansard, Nov. 7, 1945: Mr. Lockhart, M.P., a member of the Bracken Party, asked: "Has any land been bought under the Veteran's Land Act in Lincoln and Welland counties? what was the acreage, what the price per Circle, and ending in early spring acre, from whomn bought?" at Edmonton, Alberta.

PACIFIC POW's GET EXTRA FOOD M Sixteen thousand Canadians who were prisoners o! war in Jap camps and have now been re- patriated will receive extra food rations for three months to en- able them to regain their health a!ter the rigors of imprisonmient, Wartime Prices and Trade Board off icials declared recently The men have just left the army reception centre at Gordon Head, B.C., and are now on ex- tended leaves with their families.
