Bh aa a AGE TWENTY-TWO Canadian Farm Mission Finds Govt. Research Aiding | British Farmers THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1949 ee. THRIFT a ------------------------------ ------------ ---------------- British farmers have a keen ap- preciation of the proper handling of soil and rely considerably on government research in agricultural matters, according to some of Can- ada's leading agricultural scientists who recently returned from a trip to Great Britain. For eight weeks the scientists, ad- ministrators and educationists have been touring the United Kingdom seeing everything there is to see in research, teaching, administration of general policies and organization in agriculture and the practical side of farming, Professor J. C. Berry, Professor of Animal Science in the University of British Columbia, summed up the Mission's impressions: *""We have had little time to discuss our im- | Petawawa Camp History Dates Back 45 Years The history of Petawawa Military | Camp goes back to 1904 when the | land was purchased by the Domin- | ion Government for the purpose of a military camp. Active and Reserve | Force troops were trained there for | the first time in 1905. Today this | camp is Canada's largest military | summer camp and last year 3,287 men, or half the Reserve Force in Canada, were trained there. It is| expected that this summer approxi- | mately 6,000 Reserve Force person- nel will get at least one week's | ressions i ne yi 11 a pressions, but in general we are 2 | training at Petawawa. very favor~bly impressed with Brit- | ish farming and the whole state of the industry here. As a group com- ing from a younger country we have noted particularly that British farm- ers have a keener appreciation of | the importance of handling soil pro=- perly." Professor .G. N. Ruhnke, Dean of Research in Ontario Agri- cultural College agreed--"Farmers The scope of training given at Petawawa is the culmination of the theoretical training carried out by | Reserve Force units at their local | headquarters during fall, winter | and spring. It includes the practi- cal phases of work which cannot | be carried out at unit locations.

For special | events such as week-end exercises, special allotments of pay may be authorized. It is recognized that it requires | several months of intensive full-| time training to produce a private soldier to a war standard in general military and basic corps skills. It requires from two to three years of progressive training for a Reserve Force soldier to acquie the neces- sary military and basic corps skills. Even then he will not be trained to war standard but he will have reached a stage of training which can quickly be raised to war stan- dard if necessity should arise. At present time Canada has a large potential pool of war-trained officers and other ranks, ex-mem- bers of the Active Army in World War II.
