Deachman) I have a high regard for those Who attempt the impossible and do their best ta attain an objec- tive which, for the moment at least, seems far beyond hwnan reach. I arn referring now ta an organi- zation commonly known as the FAO, Food and Agicultural On- ganizatian. It has assumed a tre- mendous task: (1) The wGrld can produce more food if modemn techniques are applied on a far wicler scale. Haw is this ta be done? W)They seek ta develop un-de- velaped areas throughout the world. What a task in coun- tries without modern machin- ery where péaple live in a depth ai paverty almost be- yond human conception. (3) Presen:. technical skills must be fauind and mobilized for h .dwvelapmnent work.

(4) In addition to ail othen prob- lems they realize that inthe case of a nuxnber of impor- tant commodities internation- ai trade areas will be neces- sany ta assure marke ts and adaquate returns on capital investad in praducian. To bning about this expansion in mnarkats is a greatar task than reaching the top ai Mount Everest. This organization is daterminad ta work for the increase of pro- duction so that every child bomn into this wonld may hava enough ta eat and may in time become a citizen of a highly prosperous wonld. Thene is no greater tank. The men who throw lives into this world-wide efforttrmust live in hope that somatima in distant years, in future ages, those than living will see the dawn af a naw world. The per capita incarne ai the average native of India is under $20 per annum. The condition in China is not much, i any bet- tam. In fact that country may have fallan below the praviaus levais oi à on 6c par capita par day. An imprýovemant in conditions in these countres, a dafinite rais- ing ai the standard ai living would ha followed by an increase in birth rate. What can ba dana by aven so powanful an onganiza- lion as the FAO when faced by the fatal fecundity ai the human race. The increase ai population is limitad only by the food supply. Nathing can avent a descant ta the dowast possible forms ai human legradatian. The ma'n contention ai the FAO is that agriculture undcr modemn conditions could produca suificiant food ta feed the whale world. We ara confranted by tha possibility ai an axcass ai food and a shortaga ai markets in same ai the graatest grain praducing cauntnias of the worid and des- paataly low standards ai living and scarcity ai food in other sac- "ions. I quote f rom a recent pamph.lat entitled "The Story ai FAO": The farmars ai the world can produce enough food ta id the worid of hungr-if thay can use the best agricui- tumai niethods wa know 110w.", "The hungny people can get plenty ai the nxght kinds ai food if they have some means ai aarning maney ta buy food and other necessities."

To obtain the highest yield pos- sible, it is essential ta prepare a goocl seed bed, select the correct fertilizer mixture and apply the right amounts, adivses G. R. Sny- der, agricuitural chemist af Can- adian Industries Limited. Mr. Snycler urges farmnens about ta go in for fall wheat growing, ta finst test their soil ta determine the praper fertilizer formulation required. Phosphate is especially important.for seedlings ta enable them ta wvithstand the cold wln- ter. Niragen, applîed in the sprinig also serves as a beneficial plant food supplement. Kili Ragweed To - Suppress Hay Fever This summer thousands ai Can- adians from Newfaundland ta British Columbia wili be cougfl- ing, chaking, sneezing and feeling miserable. They are the vast anmy af hay fever sufferers who are subjected ta annual torture by invisible specks ai ragweed pollen permeating the atmasphere. While p'ýrsanal medication such as injections and air-conditloned raams aften help, the problem should be handied on a commun- ity basis, suggest scientists af C-I-L's agricultural chemicals division. They claim the hay fe- ver prablem can be licked if the entire comrmunity organized ta eadicate ahl the ragweed within its perimeter by the inexpensive method of applying the selective weedkiller 2,4-D. Several formulations af this chemicai are available in mast stores and are pepared s0 they can be neadily mixed with watem. Spraying can be done by hand spray or by largcr types mounteci at the rear af jeeps or tractors. Hay feve.r has been noticeably educed in several areas on the continent where this methad af contrai was used, the C-I-L scien- tists State. country or small group ai caun- tries, they ara wold problems. The raad is long and desperataly difficuit. Canada and the United States can suppiy a great deal of food ta the autsida wold but that cannot ba dane simply by pnaducing an exccss aifaod, pay- ing for it out ai the funds af the richer nations and giving if away fa the paverty, idden nations ai the wanld. Can India and China provide us with products which we cauld accept in payment for the products we provide. It s a sfern intractabie problem. China and India must first pro- duce certain commadities which they can exchange for food or whieh can be sold ta other coun- tries themeby ènabling them ta create *a purchasirig pawér for the things which they nee'd. The mare one thinks af these dim visions and ai the means ofi changlng dreat»s "i.n.o dèinite realities the mare difff.ïcuft 'It seemis. As one thinks of China and India with steadily increasing populatians and deepenng scarcity af resoure- es the problem of adequate faod supply setties down as ane ai the great unsalved poblems oi the human family. Sa scarce for instance is fuel in China that every single bit ai grass and shrub must be garnened for tamarraw's fuel. Age-lang cultivation has eroded the slopes and made cultivatian a hapeles task.

Good Breeding Records Help Aithough it is generally neaiized that many breeding and sterility problems :n dairy cattle are ai a pathological and possibly nagions] nature, there are a number of factors relating ta the breeding efficiancy af the dairy herd which are under the direct contrai ai the dairyman. Good management in this regard undoubtediy wil pay dividends, says Dr. C. D. MacKenzie, Division ai Anima] Husbandmy, Central Exparimantal Fanm, Ottawa. In Most cases it in a goad plan ta manage the breeding aparations of the dairy herd so that the caw calves at approxlmately the samae time each year. This antails cane- fl attention concerning the nor- mai three-weak heat pemlods in tha repraductive cycle of the animal, and insuring that the caw is bnad appraximately two and one-haif months aitar caiving. Normally heifers are bred at eighteen months so that they may calve at twenty-sevan months at age. It is genemally well-known that the condition ai the cow and the food she receivez may affect breeding eiiiciency. Ovar condi- tion and lack af condition are un- desimable, while apecific deficien- cies in the ration may resuit in trouble. Beeding difficulties have been avercome in sornein by supplylng ce-rtain mineraIs &EZIÀrevE OBITUARY MRS,. THOM~AS J. SHARPE Suffering a heart attack, ,Try- phena Jane Barrie, 80, ýwiçýaw af Thomas.

Sharpe, Beacansfield, Que., and example ýs that of phaspharus, while in maore rccent ycars other trace elemnents. have been found lacking in rations. In this regard attention ta quality of roughages and pasture is of great importance. Natural]y disease, infections and the faulty funictioning af the en- docrine glands shauld receive the advice af a qualified veterinariaib. In like manner praper care of. the dairy sire is required. It is af value ta the dairyman ta keep a record of calvings datcs, bnecdingr dates and forecasted dates af when the dairy cow is due ta calve again.
