Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Laurence Merriam Winters was born 15 June 1891 in Pepin Township, Wabasha County, Minnesota. Winters was professor of Animal Husbandry at the University of Saskatchewan Bio/Historical Note: Laurence Merriam Winters was born 15 June 1891 at Lake City, Minnesota. He earned his BS degree (in animal husbandry) in 1919 and his PhD degree (in zoology) in 1932, both at the University of Minnesota. His MS degree was earned at Iowa State College in 1920. His search for knowledge led him to study at the University of Wisconsin in 1925 and at the Boyce Thompson Institute (Harvard University) in 1927. Dr. Winters was a professor of animal husbandry at the University of Saskatchewan from 1920 to 1928. He published in 1925 his first edition of "Animal Breeding". This work was a useful addition to the shelves of students and livestock men, and as a text book to the former and as a reference volume and means of better understanding of the many breeding problems met with by the practical and experienced stockman. The second edition was published in 1930. Late in 1928 he returned to Minnesota as associate professor in charge of animal breeding in the Division of Animal Husbandry. Dr. Winters oversaw the first successful artificial insemination (AI) attempt in American farm history. The first animal born with AI technology was a Guernsey calf named Minnehaha Tuba. The breeding journals called him 'the Al Capone of the animal industry.' Promotion to rank of professor came in 1934. Dr. Winters retired in 1956 to accept a post as an agricultural adviser to the Government of Iraq where he acted for the International Cooperation Administration of the United States Department of State. Dr. Winters was in Baghdad at the time of his death on 16 March 1958. He was elected in 1999 to the Minnesota Livestock Breeders' Association Hall of Fame.

Saskatchewan Research Council - Rock Analysis
Dr. R.G. Arnold (left), head, Department of Geological Sciences, and Elwood Wohlberg setting up an experiment.
Bio/Historical Note: Elwood Wohlberg, a University of Saskatchewan graduate student from Speers and Aberdeen area, sets up a rock analysis experiment at the Saskatchewan Research Council on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Powered rock was subjected to x-rays and the results were interpreted on a machine. The amounts of mineral in each sample could be determined. The Saskatchewan Research Council and the University's Department of Geological Sciences co-operated in the project and soon more graduates became involved. R.G. Arnold was head of the Department at this time.
Dr. Cecil F. Patterson, head, Department of Horticulture, holding a potato and standing near many pots which contain dirt and potatoes.
Bio/Historical Note: Born in 1892 at Watford, Ontario, Dr. Cecil Frederick Patterson graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College with a BSc in Agriculture. He then took his MA and PhD at Urbana, Illinois. He came to the University of Saskatchewan in 1921 as a lecturer in horticulture. In the following year, a Department of Horticulture was organized, and plans laid for a program of fruit variety testing and fruit breeding. In his thirty-nine years as head of the Department of Horticulture, Dr. Patterson was responsible for the introduction of more than thirty new varieties of hardy fruits, including apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries and strawberries. He was also responsible for an improved potato variety, well adapted to prairie growing conditions. In the realm of floriculture, his name became synonymous with a collection of lily varieties in pink, white, rose and other colours - the result of twenty years of patient crossing and selection. Other flower introductions included geraniums and gladioli. Dr. Patterson was a charter member of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, a Fellow of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, a charter member of the Western Canadian Society for Horticulture, and an honorary life member of the Saskatchewan Horticultural Societies Association. Cecil Patterson died in 1961. He was posthumously inducted into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame in 1973. The Patterson Garden, an arboretum on campus, was named in his honour in 1969.
