Announcement of the $4.00 guarantee is expected from Ot- tawa within the next, week or _so. The guarantee would be for ~$4.00 per hundredweight f.o.b. the dairy plant. In this prov- ince- it cost an average of 35 cents per hundred pounds last year to transport the milk from the farm to the plant, the cream- ‘ery or cheese - factory. This would mean that the $4.00 guar- “antee f.o.b. the Lory would act- ually mean a net price to the
cording to E. W. Adams, prov- incial dairy superintendent.
This would be 73 cents per hundredweight more than the Island dairyman received last year when the average net price to the dairyman was ee cents per 100 pounds.

. After talking to other’ dairy- men from various parts of Canada and fellow members of ;the advisory committee, Mr. | Dewar came ‘home with the idea that the decline in the supply of Canadian milk will continue’ to decrease.
The situation is particularly acute in Ontario, €. a_ sev- ere shortage of capable help is forcing many @airy farmers to advertise their herds, Mr. Dewar was told.
Souris Dwellings Levelled By Fire
SOURIS — Two small frame swiwellings owned by Daniel Alex (MacDonald and Stewart Coffin, Jocated on. the main wharf. at North Lake-were destroyed last night by a fast moving fire which was thought to have originated from an overheated oil stove.

Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Cof- fin lost all belongings except a

The asa behind the $4.00 guar- antee is that the farmer would receive $3.50 for his milk from the plant, and the remaining 50 cents would come as a subsidy from the federal government.
This, the Dairy Farmers of Canada release estimates, would mean a.cost to the federal treas- ury of $100 million to $120 million
