Mr, Lincoln Dewar. secretary of he Federation. sent us a brief pport ii few days ago of what mg place at the Eastern Agricul- mml conference .in Montreal. ianuary. ui-17. Apparently, those ,t, the Conference meant business 1 we arerto Juice by the deter- nination tiievllhwad in winning .0 have aomethinz done about the naigarine question.

Their first recommendation was that th Da Farmers of Can- ldn an the anadlari Federation ,; AgricVl.lllUl'l-I0b together and see mg all possible encouragement be given the various provincial imeriiinents to -enact legislation which will pr hiblt the use. sale. M mimufactur of any imitation mi-y product containing any other in than milk fat.

The Conference also resolved to urge all provincial governments. xi whose jurisdiction the sale and manufacture of margarine is per- mitted. to see that all conditions under which the margarine manu- iaclurers are allowed to operate be strictly enforced. .

Delegates to the Conference kiid mi stop there. They urged all farmers' organizations in every pi-mince to request their govern- ziiniis to prohibit the manufac- turc. storage, or sale of margarine or any vegetable oil in any dairy plant. And that would appear to be a reasonable request.

Many p s can i e - unfortunately. some of them farmers-are not sufficiently impressed with the start-meiit that soil fertility would not be possible on this Island were it not for the maintenance of live- stock on the farms. Any farmer who keeps a larger-than-average herd of dairy cows always has a more fertile form than his neigh- tor who is satisfield to keep but a few cattle. The man with plenty of manure-we use the word 'plcnty" advisedly. for no farm has ever had as much manure as it could use- always has good lass land. and there is nothing Ix-tier than good grass land not only to increase soil fertility but to prevent erosion as well. The Conference did not forget those facts. for it asked the Dairy Far- mrrs of Canada to institute a ublicity program which. having

ose facts in mind, would help ihr Canadian people the better to realize the great contribution the Canadian dairy industry makes to the welfare of Canada.

The Park Situation

It is now no longer news to most Island farmers that the Federal Government has recently author- ized the Agricultural Prices Sup- port Board to purchase another 15.000,0o0 pounds oi surplus Can- Milan pork for canning. Since last March. the Govcmnicnt has purchased and processed into can- ned pork, 00,000,000 pounds at a cost of 37 cents a pound. It hp: as yet sold only 20.000.000 pounds of this amount and at a loss.of seven cents a. pound. This means the Government will now have 83,000,000 pounds to dispose of and there is no doubt it will also be sold at a loss which. of course. is paid by the Canadian taxpayer Meanwhile. without any appar- eir reason. and certainly without any justification. the local packing company has Jumped the price of pork loins to the storekeepers lrom 46 cents to 65 cents and be- con from 40 to 48 cents. 'A few weeks ago, the local press carried a story on the pork situation in which the manager oi the local plant is said to have stated that pork prices should go down with- in a week or so but that they could not be ieduced to conform IHiIl the three-cent lowering oi the floor price until the packing wlllnanies had sold the park which lhcr had purchased at the min- imum of 20 cents. Anw now. the consumer. with pork prices down lo the farmer three cents. is asked 10 nay around seventy five cents I pound for pork loin and sixty itziis for bacon. It would appear lhm it is high time the farmer llll(I the consumer got together in: their mutual benefit. Both Ilfr bci .milked ioutrageously.

stories'-pro and con-on the usefulness of the Potato Marketing Board to our potato industry. Articles have appeared in the local press recently quoting cer- tain dealers as” charging that the Potato Board is responsible for the alleged inonopolising by New Brunswick of the Canadian mar- ket. One dealer is reported as having stated that he has beer. compelled by the recent minimum prices set by the Board to order potatoes from New Brunswick in order to fill his committments to some of his American customers. This dealer is also reported as in- tlmatlng that there is little hope of Island farmers being able to dispose of the 4,500 cars still in the province before the Florida pota- toes come on the market. -It may be that the minimum prices of 31.60 per 75-lb. bag for table stock in the inner zone and 81.56 for those in the outer are a little too high at the present moment, and that slightly lower prices would be in more conformi- iy with the present market, con- ditions. It may be. too. that slight- ly lower minimum prices would make for a greater and smoother flow of our potatoes to market. Nevertheless. there are other things which the level-headed far- mer would 'do well to keep in mind before he adds his voice to the cry of the pack. the pack which would like nothing better ths'n to be able to pull down the Board and thus leave the .individual potato grower at the mercy of the Lpeculator. The speculator always flourishes best when all restrict- ions to his activities are removed and when his amount of financial profit is solely controlled by the degree of his own cunning.

The main object of the Board has been. from its very inception. to see that no dealer or combina- tion of dealers exploits the grower. To that end. it has always striven to hold a line which would give the grower a 1 price for his product and. at t e same time, en- able the dealer to carry on his business at a. reasonable profit as compensation for his valuable services. The Board has done that. It has done that. It has seen to it that those in the outlying areas were given the same fair treat- ment as those closer to the larg- er shipping centies and it has con- sistenily striven to maintain a uniform price throughout the pro- vince. The Board can prove that it has served the farmers of this Island thousands of dollars and our own common sense should sc- quiesce in that statement. Itwould be a sorry day for the potato growers of Prince Edward Island if that Board ceased to function.

Right now the Board is facing, and facing manfully. troubles which are not of its making. The United States has twenty million bushels more .of potatoes at the present time than it had on this date last year. But United States is a big country of one hundred and fifty million people with the greatest buying power of any peo- ple in the world. It is our pre- diction that they will look after this moderate surplus.

There are, of course, the New Brunswick growers who profess to believe that Maine is. threatening the Canadian market grid that, for this reason, they must drop their Potato Board for the time being and go into the cut-throat business. But the cut-throat bus- lness never did do other than its name implies- cut throats. The New Brunswick situation appears to us as only aonther illustration of the truth that no Board as: up for the benefit of the primary producer. should be permitted to be dominated by big dealers and pig growers. Certainly. the New Brunswick Board has been of no help to us in the present situa- tion. And it could have been.

Whatever our own Board does in the next few days-whether it decided to lower the present minimum prices still further or the hold the line. one thing is sure. That is. that the Board will at all times be working in your in- terest. Trust it. .

We don't need any special day

To bring her to our minds.

For each hour In every day,

we think of her and her kind and gentle way.

Friends may think we have for-

If. all the world was aim to give, We would give it. yes and more.

To see the face df her we loved,

Come smiling to our door.

Farm Prices & Market Report

Following are excerpts from the weakly marketing report prepared by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture:

The threat of a. railway strike hangs like a. dark shadow over our economy at the present moment. In the winter months. particular- ly, with uncertainties of weather to contend with. and possibly storms that may hold up Itruck traffic. a strike on our railroads will have a. terrific impact on the business of this Province. We are a long distance from our markets. and without constant rail facil- ities there must inevitably be a great dislocation in the normal movement. of materials out of- and into the Province, and a very serious loss to our people. This is particularly true with reference to the movement of hogs and other livestock, and also of potatoes. A rather reassuring factor in the situation is the infor ation that at least the Carfer steamer will operate as usual in the event of a strike. This helps some. but the main problem will be to carry on the regular normal flow of materials to market. It is to be sincerely hoped that a static actory settlement may be secured fore the paralyzing effects of a strike take place. It is almost incon- ceivable to think that 9. more handful of men associated with the national utility can paralyze business movements affecting a. whole country of approximately 15 millions of people Surely there should be some alternative system designed to prevent such a' calam- ity. while at the same time giving ample protectionto those who are engaged on both sides of the dis- pute. The immediate effect. how- ever. as far as we are concerned. is that shipments are now being held up. '
