Our present conditions are grave and criti- cal for which we have no solutions or answer, and we should pray for solu- tions for it is we who must find them. World Fellowship is our aim, war has broadened our vision and widened our outlook, but we must start think- ing in a much broader way. We have concentrated on our own gains, ignor- ing the fact that we are 'our brothers keeper.' We are responsible for what has happened that should not have happen- ed, and it is our duty to become better informed in things which affect and the generations to come that we may help to bring about world fellowship. We must bring our gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to Jesus as did the wise men of old.

The object of the program is, to 'ensure that -suf- ficient seed is grown of the kinds, which, without the guarantee might not be produced in sufficient quantity to meet Canadian needs. The annuals covered by the arrangement include: beans, corn, cucumber, lettuce, radish and spinach and the biennials include: beets, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, parsnips, swede and mangeL The program will come under the dir- ection of the Seeds Administrator of the Board.
