There was considerable inter- est in open barns. Mr;. Gear said he never saw a better bunch of cattle than, some that had spent the winter in the open, Inthe weanling pig business it is a spe- cialist job, requiring special type of pen, humidity control. Buying weanling pigs, buying feed whole- sale, a man can make money. Mr, Munro said we must apply known factors to do a better job,. He quoted the old farmer who said lie didn't need to learn any more because he already "knew more than I are practising." There is an economic level to fertilizer, he said, Returns will increase as certain factors are kept in balance, Beyond that the cost is wasteful. And if you de pend on the feed dealers beyond a certain point you will become conscious of diminishing returns. Mr. Honey said in the canning crop field, of which he had some knowledge, the saturation of com- mercial fertilizer compared to yields is a tremendous factor in take home pay, Speaking of the competitive field of imports, he said the Car- nation Milk people contend that' their profit last year was entirely from the sale of the container; not in the contents. He believed for growers to sur- vive competition with world mar- kets all the family must help, picking tomatoes and the like,.

In 1932 we had' to switch to eats and barley in Man= itoba, he said. In 1937 the. first rust proof spring wheat came, and yielded wond'erfuil crops un- til 1954, As fast as we develop new strains the rust develops Ian- minnify-.. No' we have new strains coming. along;. The canning crop people had found that as new sprays are de- •veloped the insects keep devel- oping immunity. Several new plant diseases are in the world which have not reached' North America, Can we build up im-. mnnity to these. All our technol- ogy is transitory in effect„. - he said. Mechanical skills are diff- erent. One wonders will we some day run out or new strains against rust or new sprays against in- sects - A question and answer period followed.
