Feedsluff Controls

In his address on “Quality Control in Feed- ing Stuffs", to the recent annual convention of Canadian Feed Manufacturers‘ Association, W. R. White, Associate Chief, Plant Products Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, gave a review of live stock feeding stuffs con- trol measures in peace and \var, with a glimpse into the future. Any control to be effective and serviceable, said Mr. White, must keep abreast, but should be careful not to gct ahead, of scien- tific developments in the field of animal |iutri- tion. I11 a democratic country, public demand would see that this was done within reasonable limits. Scientific developments in the fields par- ticularly of minerals and vitamins crested I public demand which culminated in a new Feed- ing Stuffs Act in 1937.

Wartime C0l1tr0ls were emergency n1eas- ures to conserve labour, materials, transporta- tion and other factors for essential needs. Ord- er so-and-so respecting conlmercial mixed feeds and Order so-anil-so respecting tniiieral feeds were inteffect quality control measures.

Minimum standards of quality for mixed feeds and minvral fccds such as were outlined in wartime Orders should he tnaintainetl. Tihesc standards wcrc a valuable guide in handling reg- istrations under the Feeding Stuffs Act. Some modification would no doubt be warranted. For example, the present limitation on phosphorus in hog mineral might be raised. It was imposed to conserve limitctl supplies for more urgently needed purposes. The mineral feed Order had drawn i: 11inch uccdctl linc between true mitier- al feeds and so-called conditioners and specifics. It had forced many products off the fence into one or other of these categories.

Continuation of some of the controls on the number of brands of feed that any manufact- urer might produce for any given purpose mer- ited careful consideration. In prc-war times there was unnecessary duplication arising from price competition rather than feeding needs.

In the future, whatever feed quality control measures were put into effect, the initiative and skill of the fecd manufacturers would still re- main the most important factorsin the produc- tion of quality feeds.

U. S. Potato Acreage

Potato acreage planted for harvest in New England in 1944 is slightly more than the rela- tively large acreage 0f potatoes actually harv- ested in 1943 but about 2 per cent less than the acreage plzinted for harvest a year ago. Recog- nizing the continued urgeiit need for large sup- plies of food, New England farmers have plant- ed 284400 acres of potatoes this season com- pared with 284,000 harvested in 1943 and 217,- 600 acres the average harvested acreage during the ten years 1933-1942.

Shortages of machinery and lalbor for planting were offset by weather conditions, in most parts of New England, exceptionally fav- orable to planting. Somewhat smaller acre- ages of potatoes than last year have been plant- ed in Vermont- and New Hampshire while in the commercial areas of Maine and southern New England the acreage planted is practically equal to that of last season. A total of 211,000 acres of potatoes planted in Maine compares with 207,000 acres harvested and 212,000 acres planted in 1943.

Prospective potato production in Nciv Eng- land based on conditions prevailing to July I is forecast at 69,659,000 bushels compared with 84,432,000 bushels harvested in 1943 and 52,- 187,000 bushels the ten year, (1933-1942) av- erage production. Except for 1943, indicated production in Blaine, due to the large acreage planted, is larger than for any other previous season. In southern New England where dry weather reduced potato yields a year ago indi- catrd production is about II pcr cent above that of last season.

For the United States the 1944 acreage of potatoes for harvest is expected to total 3,012,- 800 acres, nine per cent loss than in 1943 and one per ccnt hcltiw the ten-year avcragc, \\' weather and a latc spring interfered with plant- ing.

New Brunswick Election

In the lzi~t of four provincial elections that had to hc hcld some time this year, New Bruns- wick will go to the polls on August 28, accord- ing to an announcement tnadc by Premier ll. .\lc.\'air. Saskatchewan has already voted; Quebec and Alberta will do so on August S.

Although the main fight is expected to be between the Liberals, who have been in office since 1935, and the Progressive Conservatives, who are reportedly strong in the province, the election will also show whether the Cooperative C0fl1lI10l1\\'(‘§llIil Federation has made any head- way in the Maritime Provinces. The C. C. F. is not represented in the present House. Its only representative in i930 lost his deposit. But the C. C. I’. has announced its intention of contest- ing every seat, and its fortunes will be watched with interest elsewhere in the country.

Premier .\lcNair has recently reorganized his cabinet. creating three new departments of labor, health and social service. and industry and reconstruction. Thus reconstituted, the Liber- als will gn .out to do battle with the Progressive Conservatives under Mr. I-Iugh MacKay. The Conservative party, under Baxter, Richards and Tillcy, ruled New Brunswick from 1925 to 1935, and is still a strong force in the province. At dissolution there were l6 Progressive Con-

It's a money box that he's said to have used as a boy in England. Some years ago this box was put up for sale wiith other items that belonged to Miss Edith Rhodes, a sister of Cecil Rhodes. It was bought by a collector who lives at St. Lconartls-0ii-5ca- Quite recently he took it to Rhodesia House and presented it to Mr. Lanigau O'Keeffe, the High Commissioner. An examination of the history of the box has confirmed that it probably was used by Rhodes for his early savings. It is be- ing sent to the national museum in Salisbury to be added to the Rhodes collection. i
