"An industry which realizes that its future lies in its own hands is already well on the way to making that future a successful one", de- clared S. B,•Barry- at the recent Ontario Poultry Conference at To - Tonto. Mr. Barry is the Associate Chief, Poultry Products Inspection and Grading Service, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, and gave the assembled poultrymen an inst- ructive review of the Canadian poul- try industry of the present day, with a recapitulation of historical events of the past as a probable guide to the future; He denied that the Can lidian egg industry had been.' over- done,. as the balance sheet of its 1944 operations would show, and as to the future, the conclusion of the con- tract wibh Britain in 1945 brings the industry to the end of the period of definite knowledge. What of the mor- row? For how long would it require Canadian egg production at or near the present' level? To attempt to predict the length of that period in terms of time would be futile, he said. It might more accurately be estimated in terms of events. The end of the European phase of the war by no means marks the end of the time when Britain will require considerable egg supplies from Can- ada, but history might be taken as•a guide for determining the length of the adjustment period. After the last war, it was 1920 "before Den- mark began to approach her pre- war volume +of exports to, Britain and 1921 before she reached her previous volume. Holland did not reach her pre-war figure until 1928; Belgium and Sweden not until 1926. And Denmark, and Holland and Sweden were neutrals and unharmed. The Pacific war enters into the calculation, said Mr. Barry. In pre- war years Britain took from China, as the major supplier, a slightly larger volume of eggs in frozen and dried form than Canada would sup- ''''"""' THURS,.

Certainly, not until the war with Japan was con- cluded and its immediate damage repaired could that trade be resumed, If, in the meantime, Britain were to require those products, and they are reasonably indispensable, it night be expected that Canada would be asked to supply at least .a portion of her needs. Even if the most pessimistic view • of Canada's future as an egg export- ing nation were taken, if 'Canada should consider that as soon as the aftermath of war permitted Britain would'secure her eggs andegg pro- ducts from the same source that sup- plied them in the past, it must be agreed that at least until that time a greater or lesser volume would be required frons, Canada, contended the departmental official. forward so much to anything.
