ian Potatoes

That Ottawa authorities made the best arrangement. possible un- der difticult. circumstances in the

potato export regulations ari- notunccd over the weekend, was the view expressed by Colonel

GE. Full in a statement. clarify- ing his tcltflhone interview given to The Guardian from Saint John on Friday night.

The alternative to the new reg- ulations, he intimated, would be s. US. embargo aganist all Can- adiau imtalocs, including seed.

Reieriirig to the price support figure of t-Llfi per 100 lbs. for p0- tatocs held by Island farmers sf- ter April l next. Col. Full point- ed out that. this guarantee of 69 cents pcr bushel applies to all that portion of No. l slack the farmer has ungradcd in his cel- lar. This means that the farmer is not pllt to the expense of grad- ing or of truckcige to the staton, which allc-ivs him seven cents per bushel extra for grading and four cents per bushel truckagc. giving him the equivalent of 80 cents per bushel at the station.

In addition, it is tinder-stood that thc farmer can then use his stirplirs on the farm for seed pur- poses. '-\'lll(‘.lI gives an additional Yalue. Owing to the short period of time that has elapsed since the program was drawn up and ap- proved by the US. Department of Agriculitirc, the Ineeliatvc: of ivorkiiig ("til the actual method of handling payments to the grower for surplus potatoes have not def- initely been arrived at.

Another point clarified by Col. Full was with respect to the 0t- taiva report carried by Canadian Press that the price support pro- gram ivculd apply only to "des- ignated areas llI New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.“ The designated areas are those areas where. stirplus Canadian potatoes "i!'t" locatcd and where the mach- inery" can be sPt up to tnkc care of tlic surplus.

The Prince Edward Island Poultry Council unanimously called for a "centralized pool marketing agency” to sell Canadian poultry; products , that are. surplus to domestic re-» qulremcnts at a meeting Saturday afternoon at the I-ixperinienial Farm.

he , “always felt that we, on this Isl- , and, should take our chances in a free market."
