Despite the fact that this Prov-

hog in the world. farmers are not getting the price they should for them. stated Mr. ER. Bell. leader- of the opposition. as he resumed his part in the debate on the Draft Address in the Legislature yeser- sy.

He said that the cost of feeding I. hog was approximately 530 and when the 150-pound animal was taken to market, the farmer re- ceived only 337.50. He compared this to the prices received last year and said present conditions creat- ed a hopeless situation for the farmer.

conditions were as bad in the poultry industry. he said. and he thought there must be something wrong with the system of grading poultry as many ralsers were com- plaining that their birds were marked Grade B which meant a loss of 7 cents per pound compar- ed to receipts for Grade A poultry. Mr. Bell contended that when farmers could not make a profit from hogs and poultry. they were inclined to get out of mixed farm- ing and concentrate on only one end of the business.

Last year some farmers. main- ly big ones. made money on pota- toes and that was encouraging the small farmers to grow more this year. That meant they would have to buy seed at a high price.

Fertiliser Prlees

He said that fertilizer prices seemed to be getting out of hand as they were increased last year and again this year. Many farm- ers could not grow potatoes last year because of lack of credit for fertllizer. At the same time he stated there was no crop a farm- or could turn his hand to which would cost him as much as pota- toes - and when the fall comes there would again be no asurance of good prices.
