Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Wilfred John Rae was born in 1899 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1903 the family homesteaded near Roblin, Manitoba. His devotion to the Canadian West prompted him to write, "Between the Shell and the Boggy," a history of that Manitoba area where he grew up and received his elementary and secondary education. Dr. Rae earned a BSc in agriculture and gold medal from the University of Manitoba. He also earned an MA in Agriculture from the University of Wisconsin. For 36 years he was a member of the faculty at the University of Saskatchewan, retiring in 1966 as professor emeritus of agriculture and poultry husbandry. Dr. Rae's special interests were in the breeding and genetics of poultry. He wrote many articles about poultry breeding and poultry management for scientific journals. Dr. Rae was active in Saskatchewan in the encouragement and leadership of youth in the 4-11 agricultural clubs, especially during the Depression years. His interest of this work continued after moving to Victoria in 1966. Dr. Rae died in Victoria in 1979.
