Seed Being Pushed to Europe, Asia to Avert Famine Threat UNRRA Shipped 38,000 Tons Since Early Spring By L. F. Stlee, Extension Marketing Expert. First harvests from UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Rehabili-tation administration) seeds are being be-ing reaped by European farmers this fall, for despite early difficulties difficul-ties of shipping it was possible to send some seeds in time for the 1945 spring planting. A shipping program has been drawn up to meet Europe's 1946 spring needs and an initial program pro-gram has been started in China. From the multiplication of UNRRA seeds will come seeds for the first plantings in Jap-free soil. The 1945 fall and winter seed shipping ship-ping targets for Europe are mainly wheat, rye, barley, oats, vetch and alfalfa. Data from current shipping reports indicate the amounts, varieties vari-eties and destinations of the seeds included with UNRRA cargoes now going forward from the United States and Canada. For instance, on July 2 the Chief Osceola left Baltimore for Constanza with 70,000 bags of rye seed for Czechoslovakia. The following day the Aleksandar I cleared Montreal with 934 bags of alfalfa seed for Yugoslavia, and the Tamara left St John, New Brunswick, for Piraeus, Greece, with 905 bags of alfalfa seed. The Nicholas Labodie left Houston, Texas, for Constanza, July 8, with 15,420 bags of wheat seed and 1,166 bags of rye aboard to be routed to Czechoslovakia along with other UNRRA materials and supplies. sup-plies. Europe Exported Seeds Before War. In prewar times, Europe was not only self-sufficient, but a producer of an exportable seed surplus. This was true for cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red clover and many other seeds although seed corn and perennial peren-nial grasses were imported. But the destruction of war forced constant switches in the normal economy upon the occupied countries. At the end of hostilities such seeds as the edible legumes beans and peas, most of the vegetables, wheat and other cereal seeds were needed. 1 Many areas in Europe were also short on grass seeds to rebuild neglected pasture land, seeds to grow animal feed and seeds for industrial in-dustrial crops. Forage legumes, alfalfa, al-falfa, the clovers red, alsike, and white and turnips for animal feeding feed-ing are called for. Seeds to grow rape and hemp for oil, and flax for fiber are also needed. Shortly after UNRRA was formed by the United Nations in November of 1943, these estimates were turned over to the Standing Technical Committee Com-mittee on Agriculture. The experts of the committee, representing both the invaded and the supplying nations, na-tions, used them as their starting point for planning rehabilitation through the importation and management manage-ment of a seed supply. As later information in-formation came to light the early goals were modified. The time of year when countries were liberated also entered into UNRRA's calculations. calcula-tions. Since the military is responsible respon-sible for the initial shipments, the army would undertake to distribute supplies in countries ready to plant while military governments were in charge. Vegetables Given Priority. In selecting seeds to be sent, the committee gave first emphasis to seeds that grew food for direct human hu-man consumption. Vegetable seeds came first, then potatoes and cereal. ce-real.

In the first half of 1946. however, the pride is expected to be somewhat lower than for the same period in 1949. The over-all meat shortage and 'a 6 per cent decline in egg production were major factors supporting egg prices t the 1945 level. In 1946 civilian i livestock feed supply is considered urgent.

Some of the seed distributions in the liberated countries were carried car-ried on jointly by UNRRA and the military. As the military governments govern-ments withdrew the remaining seed stocks were turned over to UNRRA. Seeds irom this source were distributed dis-tributed in the Balkans. Some of the seed held for CNRRA in the U. S. for use last spring in case of an earlier V-E Day were then channeled chan-neled Into the domestic market For Instance, vegetable seeds to replant the inigated truck lands near the city orcas In Greece were first made available through military mili-tary supplies and later through UNRRA shipments. Vegetable and root crop seeds from plants grown in England were shipped this spring to Czechoslovakia. Root crop seeds were included with the first UNRRA cargoes for Poland. Surplus Stocks Distributed. One objective of the UNRRA seed program is to re-establish a flow of seeds within Europe from surplus pockets to areas ot need. Military authorities found that Germany had been stimulating seed production in some of the occupied countries. Where crops were not destroyed these .reserves are now made generally gen-erally available. Seeds of French origin are going to Holland and Belgium. Danish seeds may flow across Danish frontiers. fron-tiers. Italy may have a surplus of seeds which can be routed to other countries. Seed potatoes from Cyprus Cy-prus have been sent to Greece. A small portion of the crops raised from the 1945 shipments of seed is being set aside to produce the seed for next year's planting. The breakdown of interior transportation trans-portation in the liberated countries as a result of German occupation is a complicating factor in the seed situation as it is in nearly every other relief and rehabilitation program. pro-gram. Every seedman who has led the fight in his own community for better farm to market roads can understand un-derstand the situation. Roads and waterways have been bombed. Civil- ian motor vehicles have disappeared, j carts have been wrecked and draft : animals have been stolen and slaughtered. Much of this was deliberate de-liberate sabotage on the part of the retreating Nazis.

Early this spring there was a surplus sur-plus of sorely needed alfalfa seed in one ot the liberated countries but the farmers couldn't thresh it because be-cause there was no power or fuel. Even if it could have been threshed there was no means for getting it to the seed cleaning plants. Throughout Through-out the channels of distribution the same problems of fuel power and transportation arise. However, the trucks, tractors and draft animals now going to the liberated countries are beginning to ease the situation. The 1946 spring shipping targets are being worked out now by UNRRA in consultation with the agricultural officials of the countries receiving aid. All shipments will be based on estimates which reflect the actual actu-al minimum requirements to produce pro-duce maximum crops. the Ladies Warm i 2 .,, I-j J k neaxnem or iocs, v.

Termed "behind the wheel" programs, pro-grams, those In operation or planned for the near future are designed to teach high school students to drive safely on the public highways. Some 5,000 high schools throughout through-out the country now have behind-the-wheel programs, according to information infor-mation to the American Municipal association, with six states apparently ap-parently well in the lead in developing devel-oping such programs: North Dakota, Da-kota, Iowa, California, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Illinois. In each of these six states, at least 200 high schools offer driver education courses. Delaware Includes behlnd-the-wheel training in 27 classes in 18 high schools. Only six high schools in the state remain without the statewide state-wide driver education program because be-cause of wartime lack of personnel and equipment. The West Virginia board of education edu-cation has approved the, proposed course of study in driver education prepared by the West Virginia driver driv-er education committee and included includ-ed it in the standard state high-school high-school curriculum.

Experts Study Zoo Beai Summer Seems to Change Nature of the Beast Into Dangerous Animal. CHICAGO. What is it about summertime sum-mertime that turns the friendly bear into a growling killer Is perplexing the minds of zoo officials here, says the Herald American. They were trying to probe into the "personality" of the beast to set whether it was fundamentally a tun-loving tun-loving pet or a dangerous animal A big, lumbering clown of the animal ani-mal kingdom, a Tibetan bear, has proved that in the hot weather it is more treacherous than a snake, more ferocious than a tiger, and not to be trusted even by the keeper who has ted and kept It tor many years. In its cage at Lincoln Park coo it went berserk, mangling and chewing chew-ing the arms of a veteran attendant Anton Rauch, 59, who bad entered the cage to clean it Rauch later died In the hospital Rauch's screams attracted Park Policeman John Lanning, who entered en-tered the barred enclosure armed with a sa wed-off shotgun. The big bear dropped the limp form of Rauch and lunged for the policeman only to be felled by three shots. Both Rauch's arms had been chewed and the right one had been torn into shreds. No Difficulty Before. In 30 years at the too, Rauch had never had the slightest difficulty with the animals, and had come to trust many of the inmates of the bear cages, which Rauch had helped build himself. Rauch's experience emphasizes that the bear is even more of a potential killer than the tiger or lion. It also serves as a warning that the summer season, which means in creased attendance at zoos and circuses, cir-cuses, is always a bad time to let down the bars of safety when It comes to dealing with them. In a search through newspaper files of several years, it was found that the increased excitement of crowds seems to irritate the big anl mals and change their normal de sire for tun into a mad fury of murdfer. It was on July 17, 1944, when Catherine Searles, 25, a New York socialite and daughter of a wealthy zinc manufacturer, went to see the bears at Central Park zoo following a night club party. According to the police, Miss Searles climbed over a three-foot guard rail and waved a handkerchief handker-chief through the steel bars of a cage. The beast grabbed her arm and gnawed it from finger tips to elbow. Bear Breaks Loose. It was on August 5, some years ago, when a ferocious grizzly broke from a steel-barred cage in Highland High-land Park zoo in Pittsburgh and spread terror through the adjoining residential district before being shot and killed. She attacked Zoo Superintendent Arnold Schaummann on sight Schaummann, armed with a shotgun, shot-gun, shot the beast as It roared at him, dropping the animal eight feet away. In almost exactly similar circumstances circum-stances as the Lincoln Park mauling, maul-ing, Thomas Earl, 56, keeper at Cleveland's Brookslde zoo, was ripped to death on July 8, 1932. Earl unarmed, went Into the bearpen with a breakfast of raw meat, bread and carrots for "Sunshine," "Sun-shine," a 900-pound beast named for his usually even temper. The animal rose up suddenly, encircled en-circled Earl's shoulders with one paw and began clawing at him with the other. Other workers failed to drive the beast off by poking at him with rakes, and It finally took 10 rifle shots to kill him. Earl was dead.
