Stiee, ExitMiei Marketing Expert. harvests from UNRRA Relief and RehabiliNations (United tation administration) seeds are being reaped by European farmers this fall, for despite early difficulties of shopping it was possible to send some seeds in time for the 1945 spring planting. A shipping program has been drawn up to meet Europes 1946 spring needs and an initial program has been started in China. From the multiplication of UNRRA seeds will come seeds for the first soil. plantings in Jap-fre- e The 1945 fall and winter seed shipping targets for Europe are mainly wheat, rye, barley, oats, vetch and alfalfa. Data from current shipping reports indicate the amounts, varieties 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. Europe Exported Seeds Before War. In prewar times, Europe was not but a producer only of an exportable seed surplus. This was true for cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red clover and many other seeds although seed corn and perennial 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. Many areas in Europe were also short on grass seeds to rebuild neglected pasture land, seeds to grow animal feed and seeds for industrial crops. Forage legumes, al-falfa, the clovers red, alsike, and white and turnips for animal feeding are called for. Seeds t& 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 on Agriculture. The experts of the committee,, representing both the invaded and the supplying nations, used them as their starting point for planning rehabilitation through the importation and management of a seed supply. As later information came to light the early goals were modified. The time of year when countries were liberated also entered into UNRRAs calculations. Since the military is responsible for the initial shipments, the army would undertake to distribute supplies in countries ready to plant while military governments were in First self-sufficie- nt, livestock feed supply is considered urgent. The tonnages shipped and distributed to date reflect this pri- Seeds dispatched for 1945 spring planting were largely beans and peas from Canada and the United States, and other vegetable seeds from the United States and the United Kingdom. Food grown from these seeds is now furnishing some of the protective elements so badly needed in the diets of most of the people of the world today. Some of the seed distributions in the liberated countries were carried on jointly by UNRRA and the ority. military. As the military governments withdrew the remaining seed stocks were turned over to UNRRA. Seeds from this source were distributed in the Balkans. Some of the seed held for UNRRA in the U. S. for use last spring in case of an earlier V--E Day were then channeled into the domestic market. For instance, vegetable seeds to replant the irrigated truck lands near the city areas in Greece were first made available through military 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 a flow of program is to seeds within Europe from surplus pockets to areas of 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 available. Seeds of French origin are going to Holland and Belgium. Danish seeds may flow across Danish frontiers. Italy may have a surplus of seeds which can be routed to other countries. Seed potatoes from Cyprus 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 years planting. The breakdown of interior transportation 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. Every seedman who has led the fight in his own community for better farm to market roads can understand the situation. Roads and waterways have been bombed. Civilian motor vehicles have disappeared, carts have been wrecked and draft animals , have been stolen and slaughtered. Much of this was deliberate sabotage on the part of the retreating Nazis.

Termed behind the wheel programs, 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 the country now have programs, according to information to the American Municipal association, with six states apparently well in the lead in developing such programs; North Dakota, Iowa, California, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Illinois. In each of these six states, at least 200 high schools offer driver education courses. Delaware includes training in 27 classes in 18 high schools. Only six high schools in the state remain without the statewide driver education program be cause of wartime lack of personnel and equipment. The West Virginia board of education has approved the proposed course of study in driver education prepared by the West Virginia driver education committee and included it in the standard state curriculum.
