"The tremendous losses that have been suffered by agriculture in Europe since 

 August, 1914, baffle imagination," states Mr. Victor Fortier, of the Ottawa Experimental 

 Farm. "In France alone, in the part invaded by Germany, it is estimated that 610,000 

 horses, 1,500,000 head of cattle, 1,600,000 sheep, 700,000 pigs and 3,000,000 fowls have 

 been destroyed. In Belgium, the damages to agriculture amount to over $280,000,000, 

 including about $130,000,000 for cattle and other domestic animals slaughtered."
