The three-day conference, called annually to discuss future far-m production prospects, opened tn the big senate railway committee rocm in the Parliament Buildings wit-h delegates from leading farm or- ganlzations and the nine Provincial Departments of Agriculture in at- tendarice.

The delegates heard reports from Federal agricultural authorities de- tailing 1940 prospects for various produce and predicting that meat prices would decline, livestock pro- duction would decrease and that all wheat now available for export will find a satisfactory market.

Mr. Gardiner attributed the marketing difficulties to Britain's shortage of dollars and- told the delegates:

"No longer can you assure your far-triers of a market in Britain for all they can produce".
