"it will take a pretty good excuse to explain poer crops in the feture, Wendell Snow, direptor of the field crops branch of the department of agriculture, told the annual Meeting of the Huron County Soil and Crop ImprovementAs- sociation annual banquet in Bel, f - grave Thursday, And then he quickly added, "it does even now". Snow pointed out farmers had just experienced one of their better years, despite the fact they were faced with conditions that would have resulted in a disaster 10 years ago. He noted they had problems with either too much rain or too little, and had attacks from al- most every bug and disease known.

He said that crop production was the most important aspect of agriculture today, and added there was no area where things have changed so rapidly. "The crux of farm manage- ment is crop production prac- tice," Snow commented, point- ing out that even beef and poul- try men must start with crop production as it is the basis for their success. The Huron farmers were told that new advancements in agri- culture have the life expectancy of about five years, and people who are not following the ad- vances "aren't in tune with agriculture". He said that things were im- provin[ so rapidly that even inexperienced farmers were District president visits Crediton WI able to make a success 1)Y following "the book to the let- ter". Snow paid farmers have gone through the time when they could practice certain proce- dures because they worked 10 years ago. He reported that experience in the past was now only valuable to evaluate new improvements and changes. In fact, Snow said things were changing so rapidly he questioe- ed the construction of any per- manent type building. To illustrate his point he pointed to the technique started in the corn belt where corn is now produced without any tillage at all. He said it may be possible to grow other crops without tilling the land, terming this the most important thing in agriculture in the past 100 years. He concluded this topic by noting that implement sheds of the future may not contain plows, harrows or discs.

He concluded his talk by ex- pressing the opinion farmers may, in the not too distant future, be able to feed the whole world with their increas- ed crops, which he said, could be doubled or tripled in produc- tion. Retiring president Ralph Foster preceded Snow's speech Huron will Huron church officials with the warning to members that the farmers of the future will be only those who follow the recommendations of the de- partment of agriculture. Other speakers at the meeting echoed the same thoughts and many dignitaries present lauded the work of the Soil and Crop Improvement Association in providing what one speaker termed "a vehicle" to keep farmers up with the changes.
