SCIENCE OF BOTANY
AFFECTSJEVERYBODY
Long before the discovery of fire,
primitive man knew that some plants
were edible and some were not, He;
found that certain fruits and grains
satisfied his hunger more quickly and
most lastingly than others did. So the
first selection of agricultural pla'nta
began, said Dr, Harold A. Senn, of
the Division of Botany, Science Ser
vice, Eldminion Department of Agri
culture, in a recent radio talk entitled
The Contribution and Romance of
Botany. • ■
At the same time as primitive man
began the selection of agricultural
plants, he found that some fruits
burned his tongue, some were insipid,
some made him deathly sick. So the
first knowledge of medicinal and drug
plants came into being. Similarly,
primitive man learned that wood of
different trees had different proper
ties and one day he discovered that
certain plant juices left a permanent
red stain on his hands. Thus veget
able dyes were discovered.
To-day Botany is a branch of sci
ence, with offshoots of its own in the
specialized branches of horticulture,
forestry, plant pathology, and many
phases of. agriculture. It has a direct
bearing on every individual of a na
tion, for no branch of systemized
knowledge has closer or more multi
farious contacts connection with the
practical production of agricultural
crops or in the mode of life of the
people. For example, food, grains,
fruits, vegetables, spices, and bever
ages; clothing, cloth, linen, cotton,
rayon; house building, particularly of
the frame type; newspapers and; fur
niture, and- flowers, all come from
plants.
In Canada the vital importance of
botany to the people is seen in the
work of the Botany Division, Science
Service, Dominion Department of Ag
riculture. It wars against disease in
cereal, fruit, and other food plants;
it furnishes knowledge available for
the extermination of weeds and for
the conservation of pastrues; it en
sures the growing of good food plants,
particularly of potatoes, by inspection
and certification of tubers intended
for seed purposes; and, through re
search in its laboratories, deals not
only with the problems affecting
plants and their diseases peculiar to
the various localities, but makes Do
minion-wide surveys of the prevalence
of plant diseases.

PLAN DESSERTS CAREFULLY
By Betty Barclay
A dinner is no better than the des
sert, and it’s a wise hostess who turns
this fact to account in planning her
daily menus. Top off dinner with a
really first class pie or pudding and
everybody will vote the meal a suc
cess.
The cook and housewife needn’t
make a chore of preparing really out
standing desserts if she uses failure
proof recipes. Pic fillings made of
sweetened condensed milk1 are magic
ally smooth and creamy, yet they can
be prepared in five minutes and need
no cooking.
And you can make really elaborate
pudding with quick-cooking tapioca
that can be prepared for the oven in
ten minutes, but are really fit for a
banquet dessert when they arc done.
Try one the next time you are having
an oven dinner.

FARMERS’ EGG ASSNS.
DO BIG BUSINESS
tn the little more than three years
since the inception of the first unit of
the Eastern Ontario Egg and Poultry
Farmers* Cooperative Associations,
which now number 28, the members
have been paid a total of $885,388.65,
of which $7^,806.35 was for eggs,
$140,622.40 for dressed poultry and
$16,959.90 for live poultry. The first
association was started at Oxford
Mills, Ont., in December, 1934.
The summary of business for the
year ended December 31, 1938, shows
that in the 12 months of 1938 the 28
associations handled 16,009,560 eggs
or 44,471, thirty dozen cases, which
returned to the producers $301,032,-
64; a total of 362,887 pounds of dress
ed poultfry netted the producers $65,-
906.19; and 72,256 ponds of live poul
try returned to the producers $10,-
178.02. This substantial volume of
business also paid a considerable re
venue to railway and other transpor
tation agencies.
Prior to the formation of the as
sociations practically all the farmers
in the Ottawa Valley sold their eggs
either to stores or itinerant buyers,
often not on grade as required by the
regulations of the Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture, but on an aver
age price and without troubling about
the prevailing price on the Montreal
market, the governing factor in con
nection with the sale of eggs in East
ern Ontario.
At each of the associations’ receiv
ing points the producers are paid on
the basis of grade and the average of
the week’s price cm the Montreal mar
ket less” the deduction for express,
manager’s commission and other min
or expenses. The average cost of ov
erhead expenses, including manager's
commission, shipping and other inci
dental charges is about 214 cents per
dozen.
World’s Largest Navy Program
Great Britain will spend £153,666,-
681 (about $768,333,405) on the navy
in 1939 which will see the world’s big
gest peace time building program un
der full sway. Compared with the
1938 appropriation, there will be an
increase of £23,281,500 (about $116,-
407,500) but the taxpayer will have
£26,718,500 less to find. This is be
cause £80,000,000 will provided by
loans.
Cattle Export Pact Changed
Rectifying for Canada, the
glaring weakness in the U. S. trade
treaty as far as agricultural products
were concerned, a revision in the pro
visions covering the export of live
cattle to the U. S. market, was an
nounced. Dating from April 1st Can
ada will have a fixed share of 86.2%
of the United States quota on imports
of live cattle of 700 pounds or more,
Trade Minister Euler informed the
House of Commons. Under the pro
clamation signed Conada will be able
to ship 51,720 cattle into the U. <S. in
each of the three 60,000 quarters with
all other countries limited to 8,280.
Canada may also interchange her
third and fourth quotas if desired.
most
Cheese in Export Trade
Exports of cheese from the chief
exporting countries of the world, rec
koned by value, account for only a
very small proportion of total exports
from these countries; in New Zealand
where the proportion is highest, it
amounted to little more than 8% in
1937. The proportion has declined in
recent years in New Zealand, Swit
zerland, the Netherlands, and Italy,
but his remained fairly constant in
Canada, where however, it amounts,
to only one per cent of the total Can
adian exports.
Beef Cattle Trend
Numbers of cattle on farms in
Canada at June 1, 1939, are expected
to show a further reduction from
those of 1938, states the Agricultural
Situation and Outlook. The present
cattle production cycle reached its
peak in 1936. Net cattle marketings
in 1938 were materially below those
of 1937 and 1936. Fruther declines
may be expected during 1939 and ’40.
The numbers of cattle on farms in
Canada at June 1., 1938 (8,511,200)
were estimated as fewer than at the
corresponding date of the previous
year.
Franco Recognition Backed
by Commons
London — The House of Commons
approved Great Britain’s recognition
of the Nationalist Spanish Govern
ment by a vote of 344 to 137, follow
ing an intense debate over a Labor
motion of censure. ■ After Prime Min
ister Chamberlain announced that
General Franco had given a pledge
to protect Spain from foreign dom
ination, the House overwhelmingly
rejected the Opposition move which
in effect called for the Government’s
resignation for granting diplomatic
recognition to the successful admini
stration at Burgos.
