esting facts in connection with re search operations now going on in ontario dr banting confined the greater part of his address to discoveries brought about through experiments in connection with animal life he stressed the fact that fundamental research might or might not be of practical value and that many of the important developments came about in a most unexpected way he cit ed one instance the fact that it had been proven that the chicken death rate while hatching increased un less the temperature was kept con stant this information was now- proving valuable in maternity wards of hospitals throughout the country brief reference was also made to re search work on calves from which valuable results had been achieved dr banting reviewed what led up to his discovery of insulin and point ed out that contrary to general brief the whole cost of such research was very little large expenditure was not always essential in research he said it was the spirit behind the work rather than the funds which brought about success 04 vic i ntlc tho secretarytreasurer shows the registration of 5000 bulls aud 10soo cows with a total transfer of 1scs2 only twice before have tho registra
