THE GRAIN CONFERENCE Canadian growers are realizing that something to improve the quality of grain that is being grown, eighteen months there has been a surplus of grain, ing producers realize that the next stefi is to improve the quality oi the grain. Evidently this is one of the objects of holding the big grain conference in Regina in 1932, the program of which has just come to hand. No doubt the program is sent out for criticism. With that-in- mind we wish to point out that the committee in charge does not look satisfactory. There are all sorts of officials on the committee- but there are not enough practical growers pushing the big.gather-, ing, In other words, the outfit looks highbrow. ■The only way to improve the quality of our grain is by com- ' billing the labor of the honest-to-goodness farmer with the research, work that can be carried forward only by highly-trained scientists' of the Dr. Saunders and the Dr. Zavitz type. Canada’s agricultural • problems are not to be solved by the hurrah method. ♦ fl ♦ fl fl fl fl fl EXCEEDING CANADIAN WHEAT A serious effort is being made to exclude foreign wheat ITomr Europe. .Farmers living on this side of the Atlantic are so actus-- tomed tq'taking the European market for granted that they will be- sliocked to think that the central powers of Europe should be con­ templating the exclusion of their product from European markets. Yet this, effort at exclusion is being put forth. What is to he done with the situation requires immediate and serious thought. For many a year the cry to the farmer was ‘Produce! Produce!'" He heard the cry and he has a little more than met the demand. Now that there is more food than there are folks ready to pay for" and to consume his product', the agriculturist is in a difficult box. . He is in much the .same situation as the man with saws or pianos- who finds no buyers. The problem is a peculiarly western problem, as westerners val­ ue a man’s wealth in terms of things rather than in terms of human qualities. Will the present period of sated over-production turn men’s minds to other values than have attracted them for centuries? Will the wealthy man .of the future be characterized by human and" humanizing qualities rather than by material possessions? Moses1 and Socyates and Isaiah and Jesus and Paul were not distinguished! by their golden stones. Milton and Shakespeare were poor men... Lincoln and Whittier, Mowat and Whitney and MacDonald and. Laurier were proverbially poor. Some serious thinking will be re­ quired. during^the next few years. It may be that^our whole econ­ omic system needs revising.
