The Division of Entomology in the Canadian Department of Agriculture is now one of the largest entomological services in the entire world, second only to the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the United States Department of Agriculture. Its staff now comprises over 300 professional officers and its annual budget is in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. Entomology, in such settings is, in the main, economic entomology: ancillary to agriculture. Pursuing this idea to what seems its logical conclusion, the authorities in some parts of the world have attempted, sometimes with success, to break up the entomological body into a collection of subordinate units, each working under more or less specialized agricuImra1 direction; so that the entomologist becomes a member of an agricultural team, concentrating on some special objective. Such arrangements are fairly common in the old world. Outstanding examples in Great Britain are the Horticultural Research Station at East Malling and the Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station at Long Ashton.

International Coffee Agreement

In May 1960, it was announced that coffee export quotas, amounting to 7, 600, 000 bags of 132 pounds each, and adding 1, 302, 040 bags to the previously agreed annual quotas totaling 32, 650, 000 bags, had been fixed for the second quarter of 1960 by the directors of the International Coffee Agreement. For the full year, export quotas for eleven members had been revised upward, under a provision of the Agreement tying exports to the production estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. Under the current revision, Brazil had been granted the largest quota —4, 139, 000 bags—and Colombia, the second largest—1, 417, 000 bags—each being permitted to export more than the quota assigned, should the world market require more coffee.
