Ontario Growers Complain 0f lllaritimri Potato Price Setup

The OflllEll".0 growers, O. E. Marshall and Hal-.ild Duwncy are spokesm-sir for it group of potato men in the ilaniiltnn area who lcel that their activities are threat- cried by large slripmcnts from the Marltimes. particularly when over- all potatoc pl'lC(5 are low. Mr. Marshall raises 1'35 acres of pota- toes yearly and Mr. liowncy about 100 acres.

The floor price of 50 cents a aushel is obtainable only through a uo-operative growers association or marketing board tmportrriit enough to make itself felt in the domtstic market. There is no such associat- ion or inzrrkoting board for potatoes in Ontario.

Another fear of the Ontario potato-growers is that the govern- ment of the United States may re- gard the floor price for potatoes as is fcdcral subsidy and on this ac- count raise the tririf-f n11 potatoes or the t'.

PEI Potato Bd. Chairmanlleplies

Mr. Donald A. Mar.-Donald, chair- man and manager of the Prince Edward Island Marketing Board and Selling Agency stated last night that any complaint from an Ontario source regarding prices so which Island potatoes -have been sold "seems hardly justifiable when it is common knowledge that for the last several months our pots- toes have been selling at a prem- ium of from l0 to 25c s. bag over Ontario potatoes on the Toronto market.

"During the past several years, Island growers have been making a. concerted effort to do a better marketing job for their product, not only in Central Canada but in our other chief markets as well. Because of the fact that under ex- isting legislation, we have made provision at the proper time to protect ourselves in the only way possible from the present market- ing emergency. caused by a sur- plus of supplies. our present ark- eting program is being crit cized by people who have been content to make no effort toward the bet- terment of their own position.

Montreal Digs Out After Storm

MONTREAL. (CP) -- Montreal dug itself out Thurmay in the wake of a storrn that dumped ill- most 10 lllCllPS of wet snow on the

lcity and district. A

More than 2.500 men and 700 pieces of equipment cleared snow in the city and suburbs.

The wet snow caused slippery higlnrays which led to the death of Mrs. Louis Desrosiers 70. of Montreal. She was killed near St. Jerome. 30 miles north of here. when the car in which she was riding struck another automobile. Her husband. 83, suffered a frac- turcd pelvis and internal injuries. Four other persons were taken to hospital.

Police say the accident toll could have been worse. however. Wed- nesday was the feast of the Epiph- any and traffic was light as many businesses were closed.

Moro than l00 minor accidents were reported.

Officially

-In declaring the new Federall building in Kensington officially opened yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Watson MacNaught. MP-. said ”it- is a good buildirng, I splendid building. but no better than the people of Kensington are entitled to."

Mrg MacNaught said it was a proud moment for him in be pres- ent to declare the building official- ly opened.

He recalled that he had started the practice of law in Kensington about 20 years ago. While there he had made many friends. he said. who were still his good friends. and it was with a great deal of pleas- ure that he noted so many of them present for the opening of the fine new building in the community.

He paid a fitting tribute to the firm of M. F. Schurmaii Co. Limit- ed. the general contractors, who had constructed the building which now stands as an enduring marin- merit to the progressive people of Kensington.

The official oenemony took place

The improvement over use of ice flakes without ariri-omycin is so great that further work is to be carried out using nureomycirr and one of its derlvzrtlves-tr-trircy cllne.

g Dr. Carter reported that aurco- mycln also was used in another way in another experiment. This time 1 solution containing sarco- mycln was used to treat fish in tanks aboard two British Colum- bls salmon trollers. The temper- ature of the tank: was kept at about 30 degrees fsrenhelt-rr few degrees warmer than the lee tem- persture.

He said this method also result- ed in A much better landed pro- duct than when the dressed fish were stored in ice alone.

Experiments also were conduct- ed to keep fish sea-fresh using re- frigerated sea water.

Dr. Carter said the experiment met with considerable success on A small mile and was tried on in larger scale because of the inter- est shown by fishermen and the fishing industry. The large-xcslr tests still are going on with equipment on the station's research vessel "Investigator No. 1."

l As it result, fisheries biologists are concerned about the ability of

supply of clams. i Dr. A. w. H. Necdler. director of the Atlantic biological station at St. Andrews. NB.. said production of soft-shelled clams in the Mari- times has declined since. 10.50 be- cause of rorrtinticrl high demand and inicnsirn digging. Scientists have been unalile to mcrcial importance and the situ- ation has been aggravated by ap-

clam--the green crab, first found in New Brunswrck's Passamaquoddy. Bay in 1951.

Dr. Needler said clam diggers. in removing the marketable clsms from in bed. kill about half of the small clams which are left. He suggested that. with the prescnt high value of cintns, economic means might be found of re-plant- ing clams in iuew beds out of the range of predators.
