OPEN TO SUGGESTION!

He said the federal government hesitates to change the agriculture policies under which it has been operating, but it is always open to suggestions.

Referring to suggestions by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture for parity prices for farm productl. Mr- Gardiner said the federal gov- ernme t has sought to maintain a fair re ationship between returns for agriculture and other occupa- tions through price supports.

Mr. Gardiner said the prices sup- port plan. which went into effect in 1944. so far has cost 388,924,500.

Dealing with butter. surplus stocks of which have been estima- ted variously between '.0.000.000 and 00,000,000 pounds. be estimated that its support program this year will cost some 33,000,000.

He said the butter support plan, under which the government buy'a surplus stocks at 50 cents a pound plus about three cents for handling charges. cost 83,175,085 from 190

to 1064. With this year's cost. the total outlay for the butter program would be more than 86.000000.

Mr. Gardiner said the egg price support program likely will cost the government 5555.000 in the cur- rent fiscal ycar. which would bring the total cost since 1050 to 8733.025.

ECONOMIC PROSPECTII GOOD

The reports on 1056 prospects said general economic conditions look good. The boom that do veloped this year likely would con- tinue to provide strong markets for consumer goods. The rate of economic expansion next year. however, might slow down from the sharp 1955 rise.

Higher prices might maintain apple growers' earnings at this year's rate. but i050 fruit produc- tion might be down bee un- usually favorable growing condi- tions this year are not expected to be repeated.

A rise in milk output might in- crease revenue from this source. but lower produce might trim farm cash income from ale of eggs in the first half of 19:6.
