the United Nations.. Based at
Campinas, about 350 miles in-

broadcasting in these countries
has been phenomenal. and the
team is • in Brazil at the request
of the Brazilian Ministry of Ag-
ricuilture which asked FAO to
organize a training course for
their broadcasters.
In conversation with Bob a
few weeks ago we asked him to
keep °us informed on the under-
takings he has with this prof p�cct.
We think readers will be inter-
ested in the following account
received from Bob while he was
in Campinas.
120Q BROADCASTING
STATIONS
There 'are some 1200 Broad j'
casting stations' in Brazil, .some
of these being government op-
erated information outlets. but
the vast. majority are smaller, •
privately operated, commercial
stations. % e- ph a v e in this

ged.in broadcasting to rural
people, or about to begin regu-
lar broadcasting.
Many of
them -have experience in a i -
cultural extension, or home

teaching them techniques,
methods and°shortsu. ts•. •.

Fisheries Broadcasts for the CBC

interesting and challenging un-
dertaking that taxes your in-

the drastically different condi-
tions of Latin -America. Y
In the firstplace, our course
is in Portugese, the language
of 98% of the people of this
country. We are making re-
markable progress here, in spite.
of this. We have found the
Brazilians most co-operative, ,
and they are more than willing
to try and communicate with
us. We have mastered a few
words in Port gese, they have
some English, and•we make
out very well in the after-hours
discussions. But the sessions
are conducted with the aid of
two very versatile interpreters,

We have Visited a number'df
farms :in our; off—time—ranging.
in size from small holdings of
three or four acres to massive •
haciendas of 2,000 acres.,
Campinas is in, the State of Sao
Paulo; the richest 'agricultural
area in all Brazil. I; is a'city
-of about 250, 000.. Even in this.
State there .are economic ex
tremes, very rich and.very
poor, very well educated, and -
quite illiterate. It is• a land of -
Volkswagens, ..natives with skin
of almost every conceivable
hue, and soil that is very red.
It is said to be a democracy,
but is policed by the Military.
The main highways are good,
the backroads are of dirt, and
very poor. Most of the cattle
are Zebu's, • of Indian extrac-
tion, but there are some fine
herds of Holsteins which have '
been brought in from Canada;
U.S. A. , Holland, and Britain.
On a tour of the country yester-
day it wasapparent that some .
• of these Holstein bulls have
been keeping coinpany with
local native cows, for there is
a noticable black and white
influence on the local herds.
Yesterday; we spent die af-
'ternoon at the -farm of an Amer-
ican.-Carson
mer-icann,-Carson Geld, who lives
about 75 miles from here.II He
is a son-in-law of`the latc'Louis
Broinfeld, the famous author
who lived in Oho at Malabar
Farm, and wrote so fluently and'
enthusfastfcally about his "new
agriculture". Mr. Geld, is mar-
ried to Mr. Bromfield's young-
est daughter Ellen, and they
have a very nide farm here.
They have coffee, Duroc hogs,
Santa Gertrudis cattle, tomat-
oes and vegetables. Mr. Geld
does a good bit of work for the
Rockefeller °Foundation in the
States, co-ordinating research
grants and projecs in BraziL
His wife runs the farm in the
daytime, and directs the staff.
,'hey have five children here,
and they are a delightful fam-
ily. I •
We were -treated to a bathe -
ore on the farm and spent the
afternoon discussing agriculture
d local customs. There are
Me people like thil, who want
to bring to this country their
ideas, their experience and
their knowhow. The Gelds
are atnoag these and they are
malting a great contribution.
Their children are fluently big'
mal as are Mt. and Wife

thrilling experience to watch
them as'they,make their con- -

partly appreciated by-local"peo-
`ple. 'this is "home for them,

probably go back to the States
