Farmers were not to blame Foi the apparent overproduction of recent years or. E. C. Salcman University of Minnesota declared at the banquet of the Canadian society of technical agriculturists at Assiniboine Park Friday. The Agri cultural situation had changed he said. A few years ago the Popula Tion of North America was in creasing rapidly wealth was in creasing bringing a higher food Standard and with immigration it seemed As if the Farmer could not produce enough. But the birthrate dropped the other causes of increasing con sumption declined. The Farmers were caught in events Over which they had no control. Farming was a business of Many hazards. In the last 20 years the wheat Price in Minneapolis had varied from s3.ib to 33 cents per Bushel. Sixty per cent of the United states food crop was grown under Continental climatic conditions. Rainfall i n the growing season had varied from four inches to 40 inches. Insects and Plant diseases each Cost the United states a billion dollars yearly in damage to crops. These hazards were continually changing or. Stakman said. Australian s warning an australian had been kind enough to warn the United states against importing seed from that country which might carry Flag smut of cheats. Some had got. In and the disease had done much damage. Until 1921, the durum cheats were resistant to Stem rust and until 1925 Ware stinking smut. New strains of these diseases had appeared to which durum wheat was not resistant. The speaker urged the importance of fundamental research. It was fatal to restrict research to empirical and practical ends. Pure research at the Dominion rust Laboratory Winnipeg had permitted a tremendous Advance in science relating to rust and had made it possible to predict what was Likely to happen in the future.
