CROMARTY Miss Erma Dell Chambers and 'vfiss Marian Porter of St.. Cathar- ines, spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Td. Chappel, How British Farmer Controlled in War — Effects of Control How government control of agri- culture in Britain has been operated 'during the war and some of the effects the measures of control have had on farmers and farming were outlined at a recent meeting in Ot- tawa of the Eastern Ontario branch of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists. by Anthony Hurd, a farmer in Wiltshire, England. He is also the liason officer: and Assist- ant Agricultural "" Adviser for the British Ministry of Agriculture in the Southwestern Counties of England. Mr. Hurd said that thoughtful men in Britain regarded agriculture as great an asset to the nation as a.. strong navy. The weakness on the British food front before the war may have been an invitation to Ger- many to wage war against the Nat - tion. When the war started Britain was producing only about 40 per cent of her food supply, now it is producing 70 per cent. ,Since the war the folly of having too many people on low diet has been learned and there is hope that the post-war- -agricultural policy will be more concerned about better diet, higher nutrition, in carrying out the recommendations of the Hot Springs Conference on Food and Agriculture, rather than in 'terms of making money. More has been learned of value to British agriculture- in the five years of war than was learned in 50 years of peace. . The speaker said that though Bri- tain is now producing BO - per cent more food than before the war it is food for a wartime diet, mostly wheat, potatoes and other vegetables THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1944 and altogether' it is a very. chill diet, :Faruing is controlled through Coun-- C'\\ E 't n Agricultural Committees, really' agents of the British Ministry of Agrieniturel The members of the Committees are five 'farmers, one representative of labour unions and one women- representing. the Wo- men's Land "Arany, which numbers' about 70,000, Each County is given a production allocation and the com- mittee sees that itis meta A farmer may be told to clear land and crop it, drain a field, or plant an increased acreage to a ;particular.- crop. He is served if necessary with legal direc- tions under the, Wartime regulatons. Government grants may be paid for clearing land or draining t. A farmer inay be directed to do anything-con- sider•ed reasonable.:Ineffi'cient farm- ers are removed: from their farms and competent men take their place.. Under the wartime regulations there is no favouritism, Feeds, fertilizers and labour are controlled. There has been a substantial shortage of pro- tein feeds since the ,war. Britain im- ported about 8,000,000 tons of feed in the pre-war years, now the feed imports are only about one-sixth of that amount. Protein feeds are ra- tioned and dairy far'niers get first priority, Every effort has been made to keep milk production up and milk consumption in Britain has increased since the start of the war by 37 Per rent. Women and children get first consideration in the available milk supply. The Ministry of Agriculture dur- ing the war years has developed its advisory services to farmers by em- ploying the best available scientists. and technical inen. Before the war only about one British farmer in. eight got in touch With the advisory services, Now about 7 out of 8 do so for advice and guidance. This has resulted in the fanners learning the value of science in modern fanning and in methods that result in higher efficiency. The result of this has put new life and vigour into British agriculture. Mr. Hurd said that it may be that much of the measure of wartime Control of agriculture may be lifted by 1948.

"ALL, ROUND" STUDENT WINS BORDEN DAIRY SCHOLARSHIP Bruce D. McKenzie, of Middleton, Nova Scotia, has been awarded the Borden Dairy Scholarship for 1944, at the Ontario Agricultural College alter being voted the best "all round" student in the third year of the Dairy Option. The Scholarship which is for 5200. was established by the Borden Company, Limited, in 1043 to be awarded annually. Being modest, Bruce McKenzie told little of himself, except that he was born • in Bridgewater, N,S., and then moved to Middleton, N.S., which is still his home. He told simp- ly of following m his father's foot- steps, when he decided to go into the dairy industry, for his Dad is owner and operator of several dairies and creameries in his home province. Only in this, however, has he fol- lowed...for he led all his school clas- ses from 1938 on. Also whileattend- ing MacDonald High School at Mid- dleton, N.S., he won the silver cup for general efficiency, for '38, '39, and 40 In 1941 Bruce McKenzie re- ceived his diploma from the Mari- time Business College, Halifax, N.S. in 'bookkeeping and accounting. In 1942, once again leading his class, Mr. McKenzie began his degree course at the Nova Scotia Agricul- ture College at Truro, N.S. He did a repeat performance in 1943.. By 1944, leading had become a habit and the •Borden Scholarship was the result. His Professor of Dairying, Mr. W. H. Sproule of 0.A.C. Guelph, 'has this to say of Bruce as a Scholar, "he headed the proficiency list in the third year and throughout both terms he demon- strated his all round industrious and conscientious ability" , . which is high and deserved praise.

"I've already planned for our Victory Bond purchases," announced Elmer. "Silly!" laughed Elsie. "We can always buy. an extra one, can't we?
