Seed Analyst Is
Her Unusual Job
Mrs. Pattison Admitted to
Be Highest Authority
in Odd Specialty.
By WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. A world trav
eler since 1920, a commuter to Eu
rope and Asia with 30,000 miles of
travel in the past year, scientist,
farmer, seed analyst, cat collector,
breeder of Hungarian pulik dogs,
blue-eyed, dark, greying hair, a
deep sense of humor and a ready
smile, and oh, yes . . . aged 45 and
a yen to retire on her Connecticut
farm . . . such is Mrs. Ethel Ely
Pattison, seed specialist for the
agricultural rehabilitation program
of United Nations relief and rehabil
itation administration.
And in her post with UNRRA,
Mrs. Pattison is responsible for the
procurement, analysis, and distribu
tion of approximately 50,000 tons
of seed gathered from every seed
producing state in the Union, Can
ada and other parts of the world
and shipped to eight European coun
tries and China for 1946 planting.
England, France, Germany, Bel
gium, Italy, Austria, Czecho
slovakia, Yugoslavia, Russia and
China and other countries have been
visited and their seed and agri
cultural problems analyzed scientif
ically by Mrs. Pattison in her job
for UNRRA and she has laid first
stress on cereals, such as wheat,
barley, oats, rye and corn, as the
most essential for these countries.
Next comes forage, such as grass
seeds and root crops for animals;
third on vegetables and finally on
industrial seeds including hemp,
flax, sugar beets and soy beans.
Wanted to Be a Surgeon.
Mrs. Pattison has a farm back
ground, although she is a native of
Washington, D. C., but spent most
of her childhood on a farm in Fair
fax county, Va. Her ambition was
to become a surgeon, “a most ir
regular wish for a female of the
1890 s and early 1900 s," she says.
She was torn between the wishes
of her father, who wanted her to be
come a musician, and her mother
who trained her in the domestic sci
ences . . . and now she has two
homes, one in New York City and
another at East Hadden, Conn.,
where she owns a 180-acre farm. {
Shortly after the death of her hus
band, Perry H. Pattison, a patent
attorney, in 1943, she joined the staff
of UNRRA after having spent nine
years as a seed analyst for the de
partment of agriculture, several
years as director of laboratories and
scientific research for the Dough
ton Seed company of New York,
and then operating her own seed
company, International Seed, Inc.
from 1927 to August, 1944.
As co-ordinator for UNRRA’s seed
program, she has had an oppor
tunity to see at first hand the needs
of the impoverished and war-torn
European countries.
She spent some time in the Soviet
Union and found officials of that
country "extremely co-operative
and friendly at all times.”
To Take Another Jaunt.
This energetic woman has made
an unusual work, seed analysis and
scientific production, her vocation,
and she is soon to leave for another
four-month jaunt across Europe in
behalf of her work for UNRRA.
"If UNRRA doesn’t kill me off,
my wish for the future,” she says,
“is eventually to spend the major
part of the year at the farm in Con
necticut with my synthetic family.
Now that I am past the grandmother
age, the family is synthetic, and
consists of two foster French sis
ters and a ward, a lad of 14.”
“My agricultural friends, who are
used to the flat fertile farms of the
middle west and the valleys of the
Pacific coast, think a Connecticut
farm is a joke, for as Brown said,
‘it is easier to raise boulders in
ConnecVicut, than broccoli.’ ”
Continuing her look into the fu
ture, she said:
“I hope to live long enough to
show them that a farm in Connecti
cut which is in a thickly settled terri
tory, can and will be more profit
able than ‘them there’ western
farms.
“Activities of the farm at pres
ent are limited to pastures, wood
cutting, vegetables, chickens and
pigs. Of course, I shall never lose
my interest in seeds and I hope I
won’t be too old and crippled to do
large consultation jobs for my old
friendly associates in this country
and abroad.”
And with a twinkle in her eyes,
which belies her hopes for a seden
tary future, she said:
“Just as soon as I finish with my
UNRRA work, my program calls for
acceptance of several invitations
which will take me to New Zealand
and Australia, but only after I have
taken a group of the family chil
dren to South America.”

j Women Aid
Farm Bureau
! The Associated Women of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation
is an affiliate of the national or
ganization of the same name and
is headed in Georgia by Mrs. Joe
S. Ray, of West Green, as presi
dent.
The state organization is com
posed of the women of Farm Bu
reau families and there are no
annual membership dues since
the $3 paid by the men cover
each member. In other words,
when a man joins the Farm Bu
reau, each member of his family
is a member.
Directors of the Associated
Women of the GFBF are Mrs. C.
M. Bennett, Albany, vice presi
dent; Mrs. Floyd H. Tabor, Fort
Valley; Mrs. S. H. Shook, Wash
ington, Ga.; Mrs. Troy Rucker,

Sandersville.
Each official of the Associated
Women is an outstanding leader
of her community. They also
are active in securing member
ship in the Farm Bureau chap
ters, planning programs, etc.
“Georgia is fortunate,” stated
H. L. Wingate, GFBF execu
tive, ‘To have such outstanding
i leadership in the Associated
Women, and the record made
thus tar by Mrs. Ray and her co
workers is phenomenal.” The
Farm Bureau president is anxious
to see the Associated Women or
ganize in each county in the state,
“which,” he pointed out. "will
make a substantial contribution to
the continued success of bringing
our rural people together as a
unit in securingthose things that
rightfully belong to the people of
the soil,”
Mr. Wingate and Mrs. Ray
spoke highly of the “fine organi
zation of Associated Women in
Houston county,” and predicted
that the entire county will be al
most 100 per cent organized be
fore the fiscal year closes on Nov
ember 30,1946, TheGFBF and AW
executive predicted a minimum
of 50.000 members for this year.
