Central Sales Policy For

Potato Marketing Adoptedl

Potato movement in the Prov- ince. which asslunod record pro- portions ever since last October. has sulastan-tislly declined during, the past week. stated Donald A. MacDonald. manager of the P. E. I. Potato Marketing Board, in an- nouncing on Saturday the adop- tion of a central sales policy by the Board.

Market levels have been very weak in Central Canada during the past ten days and it may take some time for them to recover. Mr. Mat-Donald states. This weak- ened condltion has been caused by the heavy movement from the Mnritimes and also by the decline in levels in the State of Maine where a very large surplus still exists which will be difficult to market during the balance of the season at any price. For some time producers in the U. S. A. hoped that their Government would take action to remove some surplus supplies in an effort to strengthen their market conditions for the balance of the season. How- ever, a week ago Agriculture Sec- retary Benson definitely stated that any worthwhile marketing assistance would not be available this year. As a result, prices in Maine are now at the lowest level for the last twenty years.

Another factor which has be- come very evident during the past
