By JIM PEACOCK F Canadian Press Staff Writer Pessimism about Canada's Prai- ri. farm picture is giving way to optimism as new markets are found for Canadian wheat. Agriculture Minister Gardiner has said that the "grain glut" will be cleared up "right away" with

and opening of the Great Lakes shipping season. 7

The famsers themselves at though faced with some austerity, maintain the bright outlook that has sustained them ever- since grain surpluses began to

"We might have to run our cars five years instead of three or four" said one southern Alberta dry-land farmer interviewed in a Prairie- wid survey. ”We might ave to take shorter holidays an gener- ally gear ourselves to receiving money for our produce the year round instead of in one or two big lump sums.

"But as long as the present con- ditions last or improve we aren't going to have too much difficulty meeting our bills and having a fairly good living."

Today indications are that con- ditions will improve as wheat be- gins to move to market, and that farmers again will prosper-,.

The survey. conducted by news- papers across the West for The Canadian Press, indicated farm- ers no longer enjoy the rich pros- perity of the post-war years when markets were plenty crops good and cash ready; that they had tightened up spending and turned to diversified crops and products to meet immediate cash needs. There generally was no financial distress among Prairie farmers.

These conclusions were almost n ' -us among farmers. bank- rs. merchants and agricultural and municipal officials questioned. LOAN RATE NORMAL Bankers pointed to the "normal rate" of borrowing by farmers and the fact few found it necessary to take cash on federal-government backed loans on far-stored grain. In Medicine Hat, bankers said some farmers who used loans re- paid them by early spring. Municipal authorities said ar- rears on average were about nor- mal. Municipal spending in nearly all areas surveyed was on a par with recent years or higher. Farm implement dealers said sales of new machinery declined considerably but parts sales were good as farmers repaired machin- ery purchased in better years. BUY ESSENTIALS
