"I make no, secret of.rny per- sonal opinion that ultimately much of the destiny of our In- • •centives can be offered to young farmers. The federal govern- • ment has new policies for . agricultural stabilization, for the dairy industry, for the feed grains industry, for cash ad- vance' payments and for crop storage and handling. All of these policies'take into account the. fact that we are entering into a new era •in agriculture today. c -v "There is absolutely no' reason in the, world why Canada cannot continue to en- joy a continuous supply of top- quality, nutritious food, and at reasonable prices. But the key people in the system = our far- mers — must be gisen the proper incentives find the proper• long-term guarantees to keep the system rolling.

(As well, the Beetles' system includes a fifth, independent Injector- for cold starts.). From then .on, fpr as long as the car is running, this split-second exchange of information continues. So the car only uses precisely the amount of gas that it needs (and regular gas,'at that) without ever wasting a drop, The e►igine also runs more smoothly, more ,ef- ficiently and more trouble-free.
