Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of wartime administrative records of the Plant Products Division. Working as Commodity Administrators under both the Food Administration, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, and the Agricultural Supplies Board,officers of the Plant Products Division controlled the production, supply, distribution and pricing of seeds, feeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. The records in this sub-series document all these activities, especially regarding seeds, flax fibre, fertilizer, and pesticides. Relations with the Combined Food Board (the Allies' agency for co-ordinating food production and supply in all Allied countries) and the International Emergency Food Council (to solve crises in the Allies' food production and supply) are represented in these files, as well as later work with such United Nations' organizations as FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), and UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). Many of these records were created and maintained by the Seeds Administrator, the Feeds Administrator, and the Fertilizers and Pesticides Administrator. There are also many files on individual seed crops, fertilizers, and pesticide brands, as well as letters with provincial ministers and deputy ministers of agriculture.
