DRIVE IN UNITED STATES. Plans for a national drive for gifts of top quality grain, vegetable and forage seeds for Russia were announced in New York recently by Edward C.

Mr Carter said the seeds would be used to rehabilitate Russian agriculture damaged by German occupation of 140,000,000 acres—nearly 40 per cent of Russia’s cultivated land. He said more than 40,000,000 residents of the occupied region had moved an average of 1,500 miles eastward and must plant new areas for food Dr M L. Wilson, Director of Extension Work of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was named honorary chairman of a committee for the campaign which, Mr Carter said, was m ianswer to urgent requests from the Russian authorities.
