Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director of Experimental Farms since 1918, is named director of experimental farms and research.

G. B. Rothwell. Dominion Live- stock Commissioner, will probably accept the post of director of pro- , cluction.

' Dean A. M. Shaw.

at present ‘head of the Saskatchewan Agri- icultural College and member of the | Wheat Board set up a year ago. is lnnmed director of marketing. He will also continue on the Wheat Board. at least until the Turgeon Commisrlonis. report is made. The appointments are effective immed- lately.

By means of the new set-up.thc Minister expects to achieve a new co-ordinatlon of the several sec- tions at present each conducting their own marketing and other ser- vices.

Dr. Archibald, with a Nova Sco- tla agricultural background. grad- uated in arts from Acadia Univer- sity. went to Western Ontario as a farm manager, then attending On- tario Agricultural College. From there he returned to Nova Scctla. Agricultural College at 'I‘ruro for four years as professor of animal and field husbandry.

He joined the Dominion Experi- mental Farms stall in 1912 as Do- minion animal husbandman. Mr. Rothwell joined the stall.’ at the some time as his assistant. In 1918, Dr. Arehibaid succeeded to the position of director of the Experi- mental Farms. and Mr. Rothwell succeeded to his post of animal husbandman. Since 1918 the Ex- perimental Farms have undergone tremendous expansion with several notable accomplrlliments to their credit.

Mr. Gardiner expressed particu- lnr pleasure at having acquired the services of Dean Shaw, whose appointment was authorized by cabinet this afternoon. The Min- lstrr said hc had been endeavour- ing to persuade him to accept this vital position for several months.
