respectively, making the totalIre-
searchoperating budget of Stew-
art Seeds just over $500,000.
Ciba-Geigy Seeds Limited is a
combination of Stewart Seeds
Limited, with Byron Beeler as
general manager, and Funk
Seeds International of Canada
Limited at Cottam. Dr. Migicov-
sky stressed the importance of
corporations like these to re-
search and thus reduce the
energy needs of agriculture and
also in the processing and distri-
bution of food.
The main idea of Stewart Re-
search Farms is to produce dif-
W,
ferent strains of barley, wheat,
soybeans and corn with improved
quality and quantity in shorter
growing time, making them
readily available for the world
market. Because of a great
reduction of the usage of arable
land for agriculture the vast
quantities of food and forage
needed cannot be provided
adequately. The 'double haploid'
technique has been adopted, the
first commercial company in the
world to do so, to help increase
more profitable barley produc-
tion.
Basically it allows Stewart's
Plant Breeders to produce hap-
loid plants (plants with half the
normal number of chromosomes)
directly from the cells of the bar-
ley plant. Then the haploids'
chromosomes are doubled,
chemically, leaving a 'pure line'
barley plant.
"Researchers must always
look ahead 5, 10 even 20 years to
anticipate future problems and
provide the solution when requir-
ed. If you don't you'll always, al-
ways have the finger of accusa-
tion pointed at you. Whether it is
surpluses or shortages you must
find some means to deal with
them." Dr. Migicovsky conclud-
ed, "If this country has any suc-
cess in these regards. research
by private enterprise has played
a meaningful role."
