iraiiarlos Still Holding Last Year’: Drop in Western Danada

(By Al Vickary) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) WINNIPEG. tCPi—-Farm gran-

aries still bulge with unsold grain tram last year's crop but western farmers are wheeling seed drills back on the land to sow wheat they hope will be another, bumper har- vest.

Farmers the world over are full of hope at seeding time. Despite large carryover: from previous years. they know that there al- ways will be a demand for grain as long as people have to eat.

As one leading grain man said:

"What else can the farmers do‘! If they turn the land into summer "allow. it is only delaying the situa- tion one year. There will be double the crop Irom the summer-fallow the next year. .

Seeding Necessary

“They just can't leave the land alone. Land not seeded costs the farmer more in the long run than seeding it. Seeding is the cheap- est way known to keep iveeds down."

So. the farmer is cleaning tip his equipment and keeping an eye on the weather, a l’ll8_]0i‘ factor in all

durum than last year. due to the good price -2.78 for No. 1 amber durum compared with $1.33». for No. 1 northern—and durum having no delivery quota.

Delivery by the farmer of hard wheat is strictly limited by quotas based on cultivated acreage. How- ever, many farmers will be wary of making the change because the danger of rust, a parasite that at- tacks grain. is greater in durum than in other wheat.

Weather is another major factor in the seeding plan. if weather con- ditions delay seeding. farmers may switch to coarse grains. Wheat takes longer to mature.

There is no indication that the Canadian wheat board will use its power under the Wheat Board Act to restrict the acreage from which it will be willing to accept wheat from farmers.

if such a move is made. farmers still will be faced with two big problems. If they put more land into summer-fallow, they will have to contend with double the crop next year. If they plant coarse grains instead of wheat .they would have to look for new markets.

So, authorities say the pattern

Prime Minister St. Laurent said in the commons:

"Saturday. our ambassador in Paris was asked to convey a mes- sage to Prlma Minister Lsnlel to express on behalf of the prime minister and Canadian govern- ment to the Pi-énoh government and people the sincere and heart- felt tribute of Canadians for the matchlesa heroism of the soldiers of France and Viet Nam.

"with all free men. Canadians while lamenting the tragic ending of the legendary conflict at Dlen Bien Phu, will salute with pride and honor the heroic defenders of the fortress."

Mr. Drew said all 4" members join in the feeling of admiration of those who died in defence of freedom. Whatever the outcome of the war in Indo-Ohlna. their sacrifice would not be in vain

quirements for an average wheat yield nf 162 bushels an acre are normal spring and summer rains. Farmers do not appear too wor- ried. They've had good rainfall for three successive years and reaped wheat crops of more than 500.000,- 000 bushels. Too, fall moisture on ummer-fallow land was above nor- mal in all three prairie provinces. Prospects Good

Despite this prospect of a large carryover of wheat. farmers in the three prairie provinces are not ex- pected to change their seeding pat- tern to any groat degree. There may be some switching from hard wheat which makes flour for white. bread. to durum. especially in Manitoba.

Durum is sought by importers in southern Europe lts flour is used for macaroni and the like.

A series of orders-in-council passed late last‘ week confirmed some changes that went into ef- fect recently and extended the re- maining provisions to March 31, 1935.

The subventions. to about $6.000.000 a year. are paid from the federal treasury to help meet costs of hauling Mari- times and Western Canada coal to market. The previously - an- nounced changes are not expected to change greatly the amount paid out annually.

The major changes, in effect since April 1. were:

1. A boost of 65 cents a ton on Alberta coal going to northwestern Ontario for steam plants. expected to increase sales in this market to more than 100.000 tons a year from the. normal 17,000 ions.

2. On coal bought by the rail- ways for their own use. the sub- vention ceiling will be 34 8 10"- Prcviously. it was $3 in the East and $2.50 in the. West. The ceiling for eastern mines was removed
