Committee To Study Grain Drying Problem
A committee under G W Holmes of the Manitoba Department of Agriculture has been formed to study farm grain drying.

They noted that commercial units could be purchased cooperatively or used for custom work and urged a competent operator with technical knowledge be in charge of any units. The committee will continue research and investigation. Farmers having additional input are invited.
