zuunAy; m. iis~ UI# -. I CarnetRichard Is Headlined In Officiai Toronto Speeches' D mgthe past week the lead- ing. dai papers have devoted «considerable space to reports of farmer organizations holding an- lai conventions at Toronto. Few Teceived wider notice than the Meetings of the Ontario Crop Im- Jrovefient Association and its af- * fIliates. Featured were extracts from the addresses of Garnet B. Rickard, Shaw's, who spoke at the general convention after his jryear' étenure as President, On- rtar<j 4rop Improvement Associa- . tion, and later before the afil- ïMPted Potato Grower's Section. ffis reviews were well received r or they deait ioptimistically and constructively on matters of gen- eral interest to agriculture but he -warned that renewed vigilance of the associations were required in several main directions. Renewed Effort At the general annual conven- tion he accorded praise to off i- Qlals, government departments and agencies for co-operation dur- i ing the past year. Since its in-' Garnet Rickard ception 7 years ago the associa- tion has become. a highly impor- seed. The year was marked by tant organization in developing victory for the Allies, a huge task better farming practices. In re- completed which at the same viewing 1945, Mr. Rickard refer- Ted to un! avorable weather con- time ushered in a period requir- ditions that resulted in low aver- ing possibly greater effort by ag- ages save in forage crops 'and riculture to produce food for the conditions that resulted in short immense tasks of reconstruction. supply particularly in red clover- Food was a primary in creatiiig Stock-TakingSale Of Ladies' Rats from »9c up Winter Coats The latest styles in ladies' Winter Coats are being offered at greatly reduced prices.

Better prices had been realized but there was the elenient o! f alse prosper- ity since soul tesources had been undermined, equipment had de- teriorated and growth of uncon- troiled weeds on abandoned fanms and along highways were items awaiting resolute correction to avoid diminishing returns. In these matters high leadership *as indicated for the Ontario Crop Improvement Association and its 54 branch associations through- out Ontario. Research Needed Mr. Rickard urged renewed vi- gor in agricultural research, soil improvement, better seed, refor- estation and conservation. He held that the foundation of a healthy nation was a prosperous agriculture, scientifically organ- izeci to produce according to the newly discovered standards of nu- trition. A hopeful development on these lines was the permanent pasture scheme, which, recom- mended by the association, had been supported by an expendi- ture of $20,000,000 from the pro- vihcial treasury. Science could be employed in many other fields to improve agriculture. The main emphasis was upon soil enrich- ment, control of weeds and at all times better seed selection. The address concluded with a ringing note to do ail possible for soldiers returning who had done 50 much for those who held the home front; to preserve and im- prove our great heritage under free democratic standards and to accord a real understanding to the doctrine: Where tillage be- gins, other arts follow." Potato Picture In addressing the Potato Con- vention, Mr. Rickard commented on ways and means of improving the potato industry which today reresents twenty 'millions an - nu«llly to the province. Added to his advice on science, soil im- provement, suitable areas and better seed, he suggested more at- tention to better marketing. In- crease in production following a bad year sometimes resulted in lower total revenue. Better or- derly marketing, therefore was the pointed lesson. In commending the 500 bushel clubs and the enthusiasm shown in Juniior Farmers Clubs, the speaker suggested equal enthus- iasm in the problem of market- ing. He was optimistic for the future in regard to "one of our most necessary and nutritious foods" and wished continued suc- cess for the Potato section of the Crop Improvement Association. Mr. Rickard was applauded and cong?tulated foi the leadership shown in his -able addresses.

Producers could have stores at various localities in cities and selli at a lower price than the deliver- ed goods and stili make greater returns to themselves. The ship- ment of livestock to Toronto and then shipping ment back to local stores adds greatly to price spreads. Unnecessary advertising is another item that should be eliminated. Price spread in eggs is made greater by improper grading. Marketing high quality productsand processing o! poorer grades would help lessen costs. Number present, 13.
