Addressing the concluding ties- sion of the annual conference, Mr. Gardiner said:- "The future of agriculture requires all these restrictions and artificial levels be re- moved at the earliest possible date. In my opinion, future policies of production and marketing should be governed by bho assumption that they will be removed."
