At Toronto

But ‘Probe ilot Oaused By Latest Feed Prlco Increases, Federal Official Says.

‘TORONTO. len- l - (U?) -An official inquiry into the handling oi e number of products, including food items. proceeded quietly in Toronto today ae suggestions were heard that the Federal Govern- ment investigate the price "spread" on farm products.

v.s. Kllburn, secretary of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said in a statement that "sweep- ing investigation” of price "spreads in all foods" was needed.

He said fauners are being “un- justly blamed" for price hoists and added that his Associatbn is con- slilcring a request for Federal Government investigation.

Island Featured In Motion Picture Film 0n New Jersey Farm

OPMWTA. Jen. I — (@0035!) Q Prince Edward Island is featured in the most recent film made for the Department of ‘Trade and Commerce for promotion and ex- pansion of Canada's foreign snar- kets. The film is a two-reel pict- ure entliled "Certified For Seed" and is designed to show potato men of North, Central and South Am- erican countries the care taken by potato seed growers of Canada in producing the Lnest seed potatoes grown.

For many o1 the scenes of p into fields, modern methods preparing the soil, planting. spray- ing. inspecting both plants and tubers, National Film Board cam. ercmen chose selected potato farms of Prince Edward Island. 5o suc- cessful did authorities deem the finished product that sub-titles are being dubbed in to copies in both Spanish and Portuguese for show- ing in South American countries interested in Canadian certified seed. Many English-language cop- ies have also been prepared for showing in different Ports of the Unted States-

The film, Trade and Commerce Department pmmotonai officers believe, will do much to increase the current very real interest in Anndik potatoes in countries which can produce good tubers but can- not grcvw satisfactory seed stock. Tlicy also feel that the recently signed Geneva trade agreement will mean more favorable terms of entry of Canadian certified seed potatoes 1o countries which are signatories to the Geneva pact

In add tion to the picture “Cer- tifiorl for Seed", the Department ls issuing a colored illustrate bro- chure on Canadian certified seed potatoes for distribution wherever Canadian seed potatoes are mark- eted and in countries where " a prospective market exists, The brochure has illustrations of all pr nclpol certified seed varieties in natural color. With ihe slogan "You can improve your potato crop by using Canadian seed po- tatoes".

Increase of sales of Canadian certified seed potatoes from the hfzrfitimes in the “hard money" markets is expected to be an im- portant factor in correcting the Dominicirs present dollar exchange
