Dr. Aberg is in the tlnited States under the sponsorship of the Swedish Pioneer Centennial in Chicago. Crop production and other | meth ods of increasing food oatpbt for the Scandinavian countries Was of main interest in the talk. ; Sweden and Denmark do not as yet import grain as do Nor way and Finland. The improved quality of grain in Swedien is due to effort^ there. To j com pare with this new crops pf oil producing plants for fat3 and higher types of food for! live stock is being grown. One of the greatest assets to the Swedish farmer is the presence of farm machine stations] from which the farmer can re^t ma^ chinery. These stations a^e pri vately owned but supported)by the government to insure their suc cess. j - • i Norway is aiming at thp same development of their agricultural resources as before the war, he said. Finns are also trying to achieve their prewar production quota despit^ their loss df land to the Russians. ‘ * j Dr. Aberg . spoke Thursday afternoon on “General Problems in Weed Control,” before a group of professors and students in the Extension Service! Lec ture Room. btaiistics gathered at the Uni versity of Uppsala show th^t fifty million dollars a year or ten per cent of all crops in Sweden are lost due to weeds. At present the study is. being made to determine the , delicate stage of thg weed seeds. It has already been deter mined that the seeds are loft over, from year to year and niust bd killed out entirely the year be fore a new crop of cereal is to lie planted. Chemicals used include sodium chlorate, which Dr. Aberjg says gives doubtful results. Ampng the most desirable chemicals. u)^ed are methoxin and 2,4-D. The mjethoxin. being the milder of the jtwo is- ised on delicate crops such jas flaxr while 2,4-1) is used against! thistle and dandelions in the fieartier’, crops. Spraying as a means bf dis tributing the chemical is not considered advisable bjecause neighboring fields are damaged by the chemicals being carried over by the wind. After leaving A&M, Drj Aberg ■# is [going to the University of C|hi- calgo for a series of lectures. From there he will visit the Middle West aijd; then will go to California. Hp expects to return to! Sweden inf September. .Members of the Kiwahis Club wjpfe | entertained by the Aggie Ramblers at their Tuesday lunch eon.
