Pl-rtI('0 Edward Islandla import- .. cash crop appears to be facing

PSSIIY, nevertheless, the demand for them is very inelastic. Low prices do not materially increase consumption. although extremely high, prices will curtail it. The in- dustry is noted for its speculative nature. The possibility of profits tempt the adverturous and the re- stilt is in many cases thata Der- coiitage of the production falls in- to the hands of operators who are strictly not farmers.

We believe that a large percent- age of producers would be better satisfied with stable prices. even though these prices might not be high. Unfortunately the efforts of those who attempt to achieve stab- ilityirun at cross-purposes with the views of those who like the spec- ulatlon.

Those who consider the question are well aware of the difficulties in reconciling urban and rural viewpoints. This difficulty exists to perhaps a more marked degree in the potato industry in getting agree- mcnt between the farmer potato producer and the specialized oper- HIOT.

We would hazard a guess that the fliture of the potato industry in this province during the next lcw years depends to a large extent upon the effective efforts of the producers themselves in mak- ing funds available for disease con- trol, promotion and advertising and in general, solving the problem of marketing in an orderly, control- led way.

AND ANOTHER. LOCUST

Fortune has again smiled on the Western grain grower. smiled in the way of a bumper grain crop but producing a situation which is one of marked difficulty for the farmer and a real headache for those charged with marketing the crop. For ten years Canada has been in the wheat chips and for three years out of: the ” has produced record or -. cord crops. All this combined . a :United States policy wh-Iii amounts almost to a giveaway pro-: gramme has dammed the grain in: in" Western Canada to the point where almost one billion bushels are seeking a market.

This year's wheat crop is of very high quality and a portion of it would be readily accepted in a v iety of markets but elevators ov rflowing with wheat of lower quality hinder .the movement to market of this year's higher grade. T116 Western farmer realizes that t lowering of prices will do very ii tie to increase consumption. The world usually consumes a fixed amount of wheat regardless of the in-ice. Price lowering may change the ownseship or title of the wheat but it does little to increase its use. The Western farmer has done a good job in perfecting his aya- tom of marketing but that , t rncnunters rough going when the Was are churned by the high winds which blow from the treasury of "is United States.

job must be done. Poultry at the present time is worth in the vicin- ity of two million dollars to this province. It might well be worth a great deal more but the system must be improved. The major prob- lem at the moment is. of course. the one of quality and personally we are' amazed that with a spread of l'0!I8h1Y 15 cents per dozen in the prices of A and 3 eggs that the porducer is. not doing every. thing to turn out a quality pro- duct.

In hogs the price between an A and a B is roughly 1 cent per pound. between special and first Grade cream 2 cents a pound on fat but in eggs the variation is almost 100 percent and yet even this does not seem to bring about the desired improvement.

Numerous suggestions for im- pi vements were made viz.,

(1) An additional Federal inspect- or to assist in checking

(2) The appointment of a poultry field man by the Provincial Dep-

ars. (3) The publication of more infor- matlon on egg production and egg

problems. 1

(4) The selection by each station operator of one producer to act as a demonstrator for good manage- ment practices. V

(5) The xchanging of graders among operators in order to pro- mote uniformity of work.

(6) The display of posters by oper- ators calling attention to the im- portant poInI.I of good egg pro- ductlon.

(7) The provision of time at Fed- eration meetings for discussion of the industry.
