Much concern hss been express- sd by potato dos-iers regarding U" 8119M)’ of refrigerator csrs for seed shipments to United States points. Mr. W. R.

"It, l; u"- lest." Mt. Show said, "for Ottawa authorities to stats that s. norms] number of cars has been supplied this Province during tho present season Normalcy must be reiat- od to the size of our crop and the urgency o! our needs. We have Just harvested one of the finest potato crops in our history, sx- ceeding in production per acre the large crop of i946.

"There has been s. definite shortage of refrigerator cars. and there is a great. urgency, particu- larly with respect to deep South shipments, for adequate rolling stock. If this 1s not available with- in the next few days cancella- tions in s splendid marketing ares will possibly take plsos.

Mr. Shaw stated that his De- partment was exerting every el- fort, and cooperating with Rail. way authorities to place available car supplies in locations where seed for the South is awaiting prompt. shipment. He felt that. the local railway authorities were do- ing everything in their power to expedite these shipments.
