Qualiiy Ci Table Poiaioes
Impaired By Seed Program
That too much stress was being placed on the growing 'of seed pot- ntucs was the opinion expressed 1,. Joseph Campbell, (Liberal).
'l'l:ird Kings speaking on the Draft "was like the trying to wag, N M3 TuEseLIi”I,lt u. t th ual M aw" i
Ur. C&mP 9 3 9 Q " liv oi'- Island tablestock was suffer- PULP W09”
liia as a result of a concentrated pl'llgl'8m to produce seed of a cer- Ililil type. "We do not have table potatoes of the same quality as we used to have a number of years ago".
Going further, Mr..Campbell stat- ed that the emphasis has been placed on growing varieties that nlll give a good yield with little or no thought being given to the qual- ity of the tuber produced. "I think it we were to concentrate more on quality and less on production", we would find a ready market for ollr potatoes in any part of the will-id". he said.
Mr. Campbell complimented the speaker upon his elevation to the high position to which he was ap- pointed. He lauded the achieve- ment of the House Leader in his success at the polls in the last clcction and also congratulated the Leader of the Opposition whom he was glad to see back in his seat.
Mr. Campbell said there had iiccn considerable discussion on marketing but expressed the opin- ion that any marketing scheme
would not work unless it islconsol- idated with the other Maritime Provinces. "For us to try to diet- ate prices and applies". he said.
Mr. Campbell was not pleased with the prices being paid for pulp- wood. He said that in 1952 pro ducers were getting as high as 317.50 a cord for puipwood landed at the car. "Since that time it has gone down to 99.00 a cord at the I adside. This reduction in price had occurred in spite of the fact that there have been consistent in- creases in the cost of newsprint."
Mr. Campbell said that on his insistence a survey of prices be- ing paid in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick had been made and it was found that 316 a cord was be- ing paid in New Brunswick and 313 in Nova Scotia. Since the sur- vey was made. he noted that the price for Island puipwood has ris- en to S10 a cord at the roadside. "But I still believe that we are not getting enough for our pulp wood--to use a slang exp. ' . I think there is something fishy about the whole thing". he said.
"Forests are being depleted and if the farmer is going to get only nine or ten dollars a cord for the
wood. he is not making wages and
