I particularly pay tribute to the fruit and vegetable displays — arranged so attractively — and with such obvious eye-catching appeal. "Increasing interest is being shown in the corn crop in Ontario for both forage and grain production. Seed production of that crop is being well-reflected in the quality and quantity of the exhibits to be seen. "The tobacco industry has become of great economic importance to Ontario, and indeed to Canadian tobacco growers — reflected in export sales that we hope will continue to expand. "One could refer at length to other crops — particularly the oil seed crops — and the contribution these are making to the overall Canadian economy. "Suffice it to say that the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has become an' institution — a tradition — in Canadian agriculture that we welcome, appreciate and cherish. "On behalf of the agricultural community of Canada, I extend our congratulations to all champions from whatever part of the world, our appreciation and best wishes for future success to the exhibitors and continued appreciation of the part played by this Royal Show in furthering the interests of the world-wide agricultural industry." (An address by the lion. William A. Stewart, minister of agriculture and food, at the presentation of the world championship seed awards, at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Nov. 19.) "The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is truly becoming the show place of world agriculture. Here, at this Seed Show, is exhibited the world's finest in seeds representing crop kinds and varieties which are used to produce a wide range of human food, livestock feed, edible oils, and in fact many industrial products. "This show focuses attention of world buyers and Canadian farmers on the crops and varieties which have contributed, and will continue to contribute, to the agricultural economy of the world. "We congratulate the Royal on the innovations made in the classes of this section to keep pace with the rapidly changing agricultural technology. A few years ago, recognizing the importance of forage crops in a livestock economy, the Royal introduced a world champion hay class. The hay exhibits are in fact one stage in the conversion of the forage grass and legume seeds displayed here to the final consumer product, milk or meat. "Of even greater significance is the pedigreed seed classes. These classes represent an official sample from a bulk lot of seed available in commercial quantities for crop improvement. (Minimum quantities, 100 bushels of grain, 500 lbs. of small seeds). "For the first time this year, the world championship in forage seed is awarded only to pedigreed seed. This reflects the combined thinking of the Royal Seed Fair Committee and the donor of the award, The Canadian Seed Trade Association, placing the emphasis where it belongs, on the guaranteed pedigree of the seed rather than the skill of the exhibitor in selecting a comparatively small quantity not necessarily representing a sizeable amount. "We are gratified that the entries in all pedigreed classes are 'substantially Ancreased this year," and of course, that the world championship forage seed remains with Ontario for at least one more year. Ontario also won world championships in oats, barley, rye, hay and tobacco, and international awards for seed potatoes and turnips. "There are few people who could possibly estimate the economic value of these seed, forage and cash crop classes at the Royal Winter Fair. How many farmers have been inspired to improve the quality of the seed used on their farms after having seen the value of the use of such seed as indicated at this show? I venture to suggest the quality of the seed used in Canada has been vastly improved through not only this show but the influence of the membership of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association. Taking it one step further, the. use of quality seed, particularly wheat and coarse grains, 'has given Canada the enviable reputation of producing some of the finest milling wheat and feed grains in the world. "Today, unfortunately, Canada has a surplus of these grains — unsold not because of a lack of quality — but because it appears those responsible have not pursued export sales with the same vigour as some of our competitors. "You may wonder why I, as Minister of Agriculture and Food in Ontario, a feed-grain deficient province, express such concern regarding the surplus of grain in other provinces. Let me assure you, it is an honest and sincere concern. We, in Ontario, recognize the ability of the western provinces to produce grain due to land quality and generally favourable climate — to say nothing of the virtually unlimited areas of notential If TIN E i0OUN E drar j "10 Mins SINCERELY THE 0140 GOBBLE trayeBE WISE* t1. FRIENdg ECONOMIZE CALL tHE rietM WHEilE YOU CAN ART'S SUPERTEST 4Albert St. —y Clin'tari 4814903 PtPtlaCtiotli Put with a Canadian population not able to even begin to use the present production, to say nothing, of the potential production, of Canadian farms, it is essential that every avenue be explored to increase export sales of wheat and feed grains, indeed ,all agricultural products. "It is a shattering thought to even contemplate what could happen to the livestock economy of this country if there were to be a wholesale switch from grain production to the production of livestock and livestock products. - "May I say on behalf of Ontario farmers, indeed on behalf of Canadian farmers: "Let's, get on with the job of doing whatever has to be done to move grain to world markets." When I hear Ontario farmers returning from the United Kingdom ' and Europe advising me that U.S.A. feed grain is being used where previously Canadian feed grain was being used, I have to ask "why?" Surely, there can be little satisfaction in losing sales to other countries while we enjoy the doubtful distinction of piling up millions of bushels of grain that we simply cannot use in Canada today, or in the foreseeable future. "The time has surely come when all of us as Canadians interested in the economic and social well-being of those engaged in Canada's basic industry of agriculture must address ourselves to an aggressive marketing program in every potential market area of the world. "Certainly this is what we propose to do in Ontario and I trust we shall learn of vigorous grain sales programs being inaugurated or expanded at the earliest possible date. Indeed, we believe the export movement of grain is of such importance that we have asked that it be placed on the agenda of the forthcoming federal and provincial Ministers of Agriculture Conference.
