Agrkultural ministers discuss
pesticides value at conference
Provincial Ministers of
Agriculture and their deputies,
meeting in Toronto last week for
a three day conference, engaged -
in a wide-ranging discussion on a
popular subject "Pesticides." It
was the unanimous opinion of
these provincial officials that
. pesticides have played, are
playirig and will continue to play
' an important role in world food
production. •
They agreed that without the
contribution made by pesticides
to agricultural productivity, we
would experience • great
difficulty in producing enough
food for the world's population. •
Contrary to popular opinion, the
major factor in world food
production has not ' been
fertility,4 but rather chemical
means of controlling pests and •
predators to plants and animals.
"Research and technology
have brought great benefits to
Canadian agriculture," the
ministers noted, "Pr'ovided there
is wise; prudent and safe use of
chemicals in the future, many
more benefits will result." The
ministers deplored the fact that
a good deal of misinforni'ation
has been circulated regarding the
use of pesticides and their effect
on the environment.. "Rumour
has a way of outrunning fact,"
stated' the ministers, "and the
public has a right to expect and
receive accurate and responsible
information on pesticide use as
well as protection from its
The ministers 'noted that, by
implication, agriculture has been
charged with making a major
contribution to environmental
,pollution, when in actual "fact, a
