It is plain therefore that regulations that will . cut. down the amount of -market- able stock is the one best bet for the potato grower.

Additional Tariff Against r. a. Is- land Potatoesg Supported

Pwe urge that favorable action‘ be given as soon as possible before next planting time to the proposition, of increased tariff protection for, pota_ toes. This matter has been ‘ in jibe hands of the Tariff Commissionfor almost six months. We understand they are investigating thc compara- tive costs of production in Canada and the States. Aside from their advantage of lower production costs and their ability to deliver from Prince Edward Island, for instance. to all points on the Atlantic see- bocrd for considerably less than po- tatoes from the States can be de- livered, we lmow that additional duty would be immediately effective in reducing Canadian acreage which has tremendously increased lnthree years and that such reduction of acreage and supplies lri Canada would automatically give a. better and firmer tone to our fall and win- ter market. The tremendous over- iupply on the Canadian side this venr is just another reason why we iannot afford to get our market up high enough to allow them to pay ahe present duty and come in. We - arc peculiarly and unfortunately in the position of being licked if we do —and licked ii we don't. In 0th" words, regardless of producing cosi-S we very much if! protection to lielP hill‘! “w” Canadian overproduction and give us relief from this scrllllls Slimmin-

Retial Price Problem

"Contrary to the offhand opinion that, low prices to consumers mealn: more outlet and distribution. s I

‘t is therefore twice bad for the Pm‘ iucer. Linked with the many other iiihcultles of potato producers this rear the keen competition of retail llllllll stores adds to his already ab“ "mdant worries. When a dollar a. iarrel market was within the 2W5!) .f Ai-oostook County. Maine. STOW- zrs, the retail chain stores through-

jections always lower price level: and means tremendous losses t: shippers and producers every season In this particular phase of the pre- sent marketing scheme there ha- been nothing done to relieve thh condition in the, past twenty-five years excepting for a short period

during the war when all factors in volved in the handling of fruits and produce were licensed under the su- pervision of the food administrat- or's office. with good results. "The bill. as we understand it. provides for delivery and acceptance of all goods according to the accept. ed trading rules now recognlrecl by

of the transaction, with proper set-

suspension or revocation of the li» cense to continue in the iproduc’ business. Although this illness i not by any means all of the troubll with the potato industry today, it l one of the serious effects in presen marketing methods that should b corrected. It is an ‘old sore’ that apparently can only be cured b_ Federal supervision. When it i: cleaned up the reaction will be goo: for all concerned.‘ It will mean a more uniform and better grade o; goods from shipping concerns, ant no more unjustified rejections.
