lggs and Poultry

Egg production continues light ma there are not enough eggs to fill the demand. The quality is good and the product is moving treely to consuming centres in the liaritimes. A strong demand how- “-er, has not brought higher prices, as it is reported that" any shortage of supplies Is being pro- vided by Ontario eggs.

The following is the detail on an prices:

The spread in the retail market in the local field of from 12-15c tetween producer and consumer prices is substantial. The higher ronsumer ‘price however may be due to small operator conditions or to special prices paid to special pro- ducers which would range above Eh» normal levels. g “we are somewhat alarmed at

‘ the present demand, as a result . no doubt of the conditions refer-

‘We might give some attention too, to the liquidation of old ﬂocks. This undoubtedly has been how)’. If these two factors are taken into account it is possible tint on supplies next fall and Winter may not fill Canadian re- quiromonts."

Poultry markets are. of course,

‘uncertain in the Province at pre-

lﬁnl. but nevertheless the market is steady at better Dricos than lo- cal quotations would indicate. The °3"Ml’l lllnlﬂntny have had a season and eoo.ooo Pounds of poultry, more or less. some of which was imported from Western Canada, have been utiliz- ed for canning purposes. Appar- ently the product is moving suc- cessfully to market.

The following detail is offered with reference to feeds which are still maintained at fairly high lev- els. No. 1 feed cats is $2.64 in bulk delivered and about $285 bagged and rctailed.

HA!

The My market is not improved in price although there seems to e more ‘general interest in de- mand. Some difficulties have been experienced by shippers in the quality and grade of hay delivered. It is understood that some losses have taken Place by the shipper... Apparently hay is being inspected at the delivery end and has been foiund of lower grade than expect- e

In this connection Mr. Shaw pointed out that any shipper can secure inspection by application to the Seed Branch at Sackvllie.

The Department has had con- siderable inquiry regarding the supply of turnip seed. registered. and of the Laurentian variety. There is ‘a scarcity of this com- modity. A possible supply was contacted during the past week and any dealers or. others who might be interested in securing registered seed are advised to uurespond with the Department as soon as possible. Those who are raising turnips for the tablestock trade should have registered seed and not be depending upon other classifications.

A Esoturs For Every Friday

Diltriot Meeting Tuesday

Island farmers right across the Province will be attending a spe- cisi F ’ ation meeting in their school district next Tuesday sve- nlng. The purpose of the meet- ing will be to discuss the Fedora- tion'of Agriculture, its policies and set-up, to review our present critical marketing situation, to sign for membership and appoint delegates to their County Federa- tion and to collect the ballots on the marketing board plan which have been distributed to over 10,- 000 farmers in the province dur- ing the past week.

The details of the plan have been distributed to the Federation leaders in each school district who were appointed at recent meetings. They will have all the necessary information including membership forms, delegates’ cards, copies of the Federation Handbook and By- laws, also the official envelope for returning the ballots and a list for recording the names of the farm- ers who voted. Prlnciplea of the proposed marketing board scheme will be read at the school meet- ing and will also be explained in the special broadcast at 10:00 o'clock on Manda night.

Maritime: Together

,A meeting was held in Moncton on Tuesday between representa- tives of the potato producers in each province, the three Deputy Ministers of Agriculture, the Min- ister of Agriculture from New Brunswick and other marketing ex- perts to discuss the potato mar- keting problem in the Maritimes and decide on what course of action to take. .

It was revealed at that meeting that even at the Present time there were possibilities of moving large quantities of potatoes to for- eign countries it there was some central agency in each province embracing the whole industry which the Dominion Government and those foreign exporters could deal with to negotiate such barter deals.

However, because of past ex- periences with price-cutting and other unethical practices in such

deals, the trade officials cannot make adequate arrangements.

The Government is hesitating to establish price supports because of excess speculation. At the same time they will not. and rightly so, have civil servants take over and market potatoes or other products for farmers. The farmers. as food producers have been challenged to Organize as any other industry and establish marketing boards to rogu- lato prices and trade and to be Tend)’ to comply with any provis- ions of the Prices Support Act in moving surpluses or other emer- gencies.

This is the main reason for the proposed marketing board scheme. M the present time the matter of a floor price rests with the Gov- ernment. The Federation has done everything possible to acquaint them with the necessity for some relief for the ordinary farmers.

At the Present time we are so- Dealing to the farmers to do something for themselves. A 100 per cent turnout of all farmers is desirable at those meetings. The need of an overall potato market- ins scheme for the Maritime Prov- inces was discussed at the meet. ing in Moncton and the other Drovinces unanimously agreed to take similar action if Prince Ed- ward island producers will sup- port the proposal. This program is not designed to shut out legttt. ‘"536 dealers but. to take all phases, producers, private dealers and co-operatives into a plan where all can work together under legis- lation designed for the betterment of the whole industry.

It in sr-tlfyins to find how many of the large and conscien- ‘tious dealers, who have always
