The attitude of the Prices Sup- lwrt Board with regard to a pro- POsed potato floor price is the sub- ject of discussion in the following telegram and letter which. are self explanatory:

HJ-I. Hatfield, MP. Hartland. N. B.

J. G. TAGGART Ottawa, Oct. 2J3.

Mr. .J G. Taggart, chairman. Agricultural Prices Support Board. Ottawa. Canada.

Dear Mr. Taggart: <

Yoru telegram of October I answering mine of October 26.

I note that you are withholding any recommendation or Movement by your Board, thinking it might prejudice the Canadian potato position in U. S. markets. If your

Support Board And Potato Floor Price

anticipated statement is going in prejudice our position in U. S. markets then it will not be made in accordance with the Agricultural Prices Support Act of 1M4.

I wish to point out to you and your board that every day you de. lay action in carrying out the terms of the Agricultural Prices Support Board Act, the potato producers in tho Maritimes are losing thousands of dollars by selling below cost of production and at the same time weakening our position with the U. S. Support Board.

Your Board will be held re- sponsible for not carrying out the intentions of the support act. made law in 1944, with $200,000,000 voted at that time and according to the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Gardiner! statement. Re v i s e d Hansard, 1044, page 50M, it was designed to not only assure the farmers cost of production but a fair return for his produce.

If your Board had taken action when requested, then there would be no need for s. delegation to be going to Washington at this time.

Yours very truly. H. H. HATFIELD. MP, l Victoria-Carleton. Hartland, N. 8., Oct. 30 1948.

Two liew Potato Storehouses ' Near Completion

With the completion next week of the potato storehouses at Tig- nish and Vernon River. the Pro- vince will have eight such storage plants in operation. The others are located at Elmira, Douglas. Well- ington, O’Lea.ry, Bloomfield and Morell.

Mr. J. F. Connolly, Deputy- Minister of Reconstruction, said yesterday that the plants were built under a. Dominion-Provincial ar- rangement whereby any community wishing to foirm a (xi-operative group of at least l0 members and able to provide I5 per cent of the cost. could, after the project had been approved, have such a potato storage plant built.

All eight plants will be in oper- ation in a few days. Mr. Connolly said, with a total storage capacity of 210,000 bushels. Since such plants have a normal turnover during the season of three times their capacity, those eight plants will give safe storage to about 760.000 buushels of potatoes.
