Potato Prospects And ore-luau; DiSCUSSGd

Association Meeting

last year was the first time in the history of the Maritime pe- tsto industry that an average of over 2,000 acre was used, stated J. l. Mc- Intyre. C. N. lb. Agricultural Rep- resentative, at the annual meeting o! the Prince Iflwsrd Island Po- tato Growers’ Association lsat Wednesday evening.

Mr. McIntyre opened his talk

l0!“ with s diacusson of comparative

yields. "For the period from 100d to 1048," he said, “the average yield per acre in New Brunswick was 127.0 cwt., 110.7 in Prince lid- wsrd Island. and 91.8 in Nova Scotie. I did not go into an analysis of the reasons for these yields but I do know that the averages correspond, with the quantities oi fertilizers used per acre in each Province. The other variations are probably more due to westherconditlons and other factors.

"After high yields and low prices the acreage goes down and that has applied without exception to Prince Edward Island as well as other Provinces.

“Better oilill” “Now, what you are most inter-

IL sated in is what is going to happen

in 1049. I sm not s,prcphet but the picture portrays far better odds than youlhsd last year. You will recall what I tried to tell you at your last annual meeting. ‘Ilo- day the picture is very different: "First, if we look at U. s. A.. there are two very important points to keep in mind; 1. the drop oi approximately $1.00 per cwt. in next year's support price. (I see quotations on the New York

2. The price support will apply to 79b less acreage.

"In Canada, the high prices of fertilizers and the low receipts for last year will inevitably cause a reduction in both acreage ‘and fertilizer applied per acre. What this reduction will be in acreage is still quite indefinite because many farmers will have almost as much land ready for planting as last year and will also have sufiici- ant cheap seed. One thing is definite that they will not purchase as much. fertilizer nor will they apply as much ped- acre as they did last year. ‘

“I know of several cases in New Brunswick where as high as 4,- 000 lbs. oi fertiliser was used in one field and many farmers used 3,000 lbs. s'nd more. This was the iirst time in the history of potato growing in the Msrltinsel that the average quantity used per me was over 2,000 lbs. the quantity being 2.000 Judging from the total number of tons of potato mixtures plus_80% of the fertilizer sold for home mixing.

"No one can predict what wea- ther conditions will be but if you will glance back st the chart you will expect the average yield oi the Msritimes to be lower next year than tn i048, mocking from weather conditions alone. I am referring to the picture‘ as a whole and not to individual Pro- vinces.

Price Factors

“When one talks about potato prices, general world conditions odten ter into the picture, and these I do not attempt to pre- dict. I-lowever, the industrial act- ivity of both Canada and the United States are predicted to be very good for this year thus main- taining a reachable domestic de- mend. Another factor to remember also is the very high cost of farm- ing operations, s factor which will tend to reduce a good many farm activities.

"It is not my intention to tell you whet you should do, but I would like to remind you not to forget the importance of your livestock and especially your lead supplies, grain especially.

"Your future is ill your hands and the outlook ior you is ex- cellent if you maintain a balance betwven your livestock production and your seed potato production and that means giving more at- tention to certified seed for which you have a partly assured market, and growing more grains which will enable you to keep more money at home. With these re- commendations, I wish you all a very success ul year."

"It ll" no ran of our Prime Minister's philosophy that men should be arrested. denied counsel and held incommunicedo for weeks without trial," ire ma. “But Soviet espionage at that time had risen to the level of a grave national emergency.
