journal, "Nutrition Abstracts and

all research work in hulman and

In 1935 he published the book.

Beaver has the same degree of re-

carried by the parent varieties as

First Importation Shorthorns Paid
In 1834 Felix and Josiah Renick
and E. J. Harness, of Ohio, went to
England to buy pure-bred cattle.
Drhel compared the climate and soils
and grasses of England with those of
Ohio. .They studied the production
records of various breeds and finally
decided to gamble all the money
entrusted to them by the Ohio
Importing Company on a single etrain
—the Shorthorn. Nineteen head of
Shorthorns were brought to Ohio by
the Renicks and Harness, the first
imported into North America. More
were imported in succeeding years.

Anaemia Of Horses
In the past, infectious anaemia of
horses ' has given rise to great
econoratc loss, states the annual re-
port of the Science Service, Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture. The
disease was at one time confined to
-Western Canada but in later years
has made its way into the Eastern
Provinces and become important,
particularly in the lumbering dis-
tricts of Northern Ontario and North-
ern Quebec. There are many fea-
tures of interest concerning this dis-
ease, says the' report, and from time
to time attempts have been made to
immunize against dt,...-.Using newer
methods of study, attempts have been
made . to propagate the virus under
artificial. conditions but it appears to
be one of those which does not lend
itself to this purpose. Newer meth-
ods of preparing specific 'vaccines
have been employed and these vac-
cines are at present under critical
study to determine their potency.

22 millions Mid the Anlerienes o.bout '
18 millions, totalling �ut two-thirds
of the surviving population et the
couotry, and. indicatiene are that Rus-
sians areas are being depopulated at
such an alarming rate that British
and American resources can namely
cope with the influx.
Officially it is difficult , to get • an
exact picture of this terrific move-
ment, but British intelligence sourc-
es are well aware both of the official
evacuation of such people as under-
fed children of Berlin and the mad,
unofficial exodus of throngs west-
ward across the 'Elbe.
Few British authorities dare to
hazard an estimate of proportions
this movement will assume as winter
cold, hunger and other factors drive
the German westward. One veteran
officer who was in rmany a good
deal before the war said planning for
the forthcoming census would be-
come terribly complicated but the to-
tal number of German refugees could
reach 10 millions.
The British zone is the most popu-
lous in Germany, containing the ma-
jor cities of Hamburg, Hanover, Bre-
men, Cologne and all the Ruhr.
"With prisoners still undischarged
and with displaced persons we esti-
mate our problem at 22 million peo-
ple,” one food authority said, and the
Germans from the east are pouring
into the British zone at a rate of
50,000 a week,- and the flight semis
to be on the inerea'ge.
"In, spite of all efforts and co-op-
eration from Russian commanders in
the adjoining zone it has been found
itupossible to stop this unorganized
flow," explained a British control
'commission officer.
The British have tried to control
the movement but it has gained such
impetus there is no stopping the thou-
sands who pour through woods in
secluded areas along the Elbe at
dight. Around Helmstedt, the main
check point on the Russian -British
border, you see thousands of these
people on the British side and troops
appear to accept them as inevitable.

reporter and an army driver stopped
