INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS "During the years 1930-1940 Dr. McConkey was an active officer of the International Grassland Congress and in 1937 served as vice-president. "Dr. McConkey bred 12 im- proved varieties of grasses and clovers, largely from indigin- eous material which he collect- ed in European countries and in Russia. "His stimulation of thought DR. O. M. McCONKEY K•• concerning grassland has had a great impact on the present )' level of grassland technology in Ontario and across Canada. "In honoring Dr. McConkey with an "Award of Merit," we are focussing attention on the men who recognized the poten- tial of the grassland crops; the men who had the courage of their convictions to do some- thing about improving this crop, and on the man who sparked the great surge forward in grass- land technology and research that has been witnessed in re- cent years." Dr. McConkey is known to many in Wingham. 1•le is mar- ried to the former Louise Hanna and is a frequent visitor with her mother, Mrs. George Han- t na, and other relatives and friends in town.
