"A consequent fall in price due to imperfect drying occurâ€" red. "Estimate the loss at half the sugâ€" gested amonntâ€"$250,000 per year. At a cost of dess than $5,000 that problem was solved and the loss completely & liminated. In the 10 years since that work was done a saving to that indusâ€" try of not less than $2,500,000 has reâ€" sulted, and it goes on accumulating. Further justification was offered by the speaker when he referred to anâ€" other successful research. It was in connection with the fishing industry of the Maritime provinces in which, it was estimated, there was an annual loss which amounted to $500,000 due to deterioration of the processed proâ€" duct, and the consequent loss of price because of fear of deterioration. ’ Within a short time, said Dr. Tory these new wheat strains would be disâ€" tributed to the rustâ€"infected areas, He asked the section to compare a cost of $250,000 for reasearch to the eliminaâ€" tion of a $20,000,000 annual loss. The fact, he though, spoke for itself. "Recently," Dr. Tory asserted, when 1 was challenged to justify the expenâ€" ditures made I stated that I was preâ€" pared to demonstrate to any body of reasonable men that we had already repaid to the people of Canada in work done, the total cost of the research council to date." miG o snapbiaht â€" t rasrdmnctss Mc is te se ud l It was estimated that since 1915, the total loss from black rust, the spores of which are blown into Canada from the United States, had amounted to $600,000,000. Dr. Tory was speaking on "Why is Science Worth While?" and pointed out that to overcome this tremendous loss the research was beâ€" gun in 1924, Addressing the high school princiâ€" pals‘ section of the Q.E.A. in the pariâ€" iament buildings recently, Dr. Tory emphasized that this research conductâ€" ed by the council, the federal departâ€" ment of agriculture and the three praiâ€" rie nniversities, cost only $250,000.
