The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1972-05-25, Page 15LOOKING BACK — At Usborne Central school's "Good Old Days" Friday, most pupils and teachers
rolled back the years as far as costumes were concerned. Above, principal Allan Taylor shows Ronnie
Watson how the pointer was used in the olden days. Looking on with mixed emotions are teachers Jane

Dr. P. N. Huntley, Executive ,
Director, Agricultural Education
and Research Division, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, told a very interested and
attentive audience, "It should be
recognized as an example of good
political cooperation that we
have a worldwide system of
easily available, standard
climatelogical data." He ex-
pressed optimism in the future of
the Federation Internationale du
Commerce des Semences, but
pointed out the necessity of
cooperation and planning by
seedsmen and governments.
He was addressing scientists
and seedsmen from all over the
world, who were attending the
1972 Congress of the Federation
held in Ottawa from May 21 to 24.
Dr. Huntley outlined briefly the
development of scientific
knowledge in relation to seeds
and ecology from the early
Agricultural Societies and
research institutions to the work
of the United Nations Food and
Agricultural. Organization, Dr.
Huntley recalled. ". . .that
plant breeding and seed im-
provement of cereal crops was
one of the major priorities," set
by the FAQ in its effort to restore
fond production to a war-
disrupted world, "Work in this
field sparked what later came to
be called the Green Revolution. It
was the great lesson in ecology of
the Twentieth Century."
He commented on the work of
the Rice Research Institute in
Los Banos in the Philippines,
sponsored by the Rockefeller
and Ford Foundations, which
produced new high-yield
varieties, revolutionizing the
agriculture of many lands.
The story of wheat was quite
similar, Dr. Huntley said. "FAO
specialists and consultants
recommended the transfer of
new varieties developed in
Mexico to large areas of Pakistan
and India with the recom-
mendation based on ecological
factors, Today Pakistan
produces enough for her needs,
while India produces 700 million
bushels of wheat per year which
with her vastly greater rice crops
has reversed the hitherto almost
permanent trend towards famine
in that country."
"For the future," Dr. Huntley
said, "it seems that new op-
portunities for greater seed
movement will be the result of
greater scientific effort in
bioclimatology." He said that
recent developments in collecting
climatic data would eventually
make it possible to share
knowledge of plant varieties
accumulated in many, regions of
the world. He expressed the hope
that close cooperation between
agricultural and meteorological
research institutes would provide
needed information on soil
climates.
Two young men frOm this area
were among the 65 gracluateu at
Friday's 20th graduation exer-
cises at the Ridgetown College of
Agricultural Technology.
Rick Etherington, RR 1 Hen-
sail, and Robert Stone, RR 3,
Exeter successfully completed
the two-year Agricultural
Laboratory Technology course.
Rick, an honour student, is the
son of Mr, and Mrs. R. D.
Etherington and Robert is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Stone.
Successfully completing their
junior year in the Agricultural
Production and Management
course were Douglas Ford, Dash-
wood and William Munn, Hensel],
The guest speaker at Friday's
graduation, Dr. N. R. Richards
dean of the Ontario Agricultural
College at the University of
Guelph assured the graduating
students there is a great demand
for their services at home and
abroad.
At home graduates have the
responsibilities of finding an-
swers to the problem of low farm
incomes, of developing new world
markets and of promoting sound
growth in the rural community.
He said new employment op-
portunities outside of Canada
have been only partially ex-
Rick E therington
plored leaving a large challenge
abroad,
"The world is still plagued by
the spectre of too many hands
reaching out for too little food, in
spite of the 'green revolution' in
one small area of the world,".
Dr. Richards said the long-
term solution to feeding the
world's hungry cannot be
provided by gifts of food from
North America.
He advocated an exort of
technology, in which the hands,
minds and skills of trained
agriculturists are made available
to the developing nations.
Dr. Richards said agricultural
colleges have faced their on-farm
responsibilities and have
branched into new areas of
concern including pollution, use

of agricultural chemicals and
leadership in farm
mechanization.
He claimed for them the title of
"peoples' colleges" because of
this response to challenge and
because people feel free to bring
their problems to them.
Dr. Richards said too often
there is an attitude that
agricultural education and
research require less costly
facilities and smaller budgets
than more sophisticated
programs like space science.
This was not the case, because
agricultural education and
research demand plants and
animals — a living form of
education — that is, expensive.

By the way: Last weekend
there were too many people in too
many cars in too much of a
hurry going in too many direc-

"How you getting along?" the
veteran salesman asked the
fledgling.
"Rotten. I got nothing but in-
sults every place I called,"
"That's funny," the old man
mused. "I been on the road 40
years. I've had doors slammed in
my face, my samples dumped in
the street. I been tossed down
stairs, been manhandled by
janitors — but insulted? Never!"
