Committee To Negotiate Potato Crop Failure Aid

ALBERTON BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN

Crop failure assistance on a basis of $50 per acre up to a maximum of 15 acres was con- sidered yesterday afternoon by over 500 potato growers at a fe- deration of Agriculture spon- sored meeting in O'Leary Re- gional High School auditorium.

A resolution to this effect fail- ed to win approval and it was finally decided to appoint a six member committee which is to use the resolution as a basis for negotiation for assistance from the federal and provincial governments.

Two crop failures in Prince County by reason of drought and low market price this year were the principal reasons given for the request for assistance. Ma- ny farmers present referred to West Prince as a disaster or distressed area and were unable

ow they could carry on without assistance of some kind.

A Montrose farmer, Raymond Hardy, said he had two of the poorest crops of potatoes he had ever grown and all other crops suffered from drought. h large attendance at the meeting proved that something is wrong, he said, while expressing the opinion that children are going hungry owing to depressed con- ditions.

Lester . Wallace, Cascumpec, said that farmerrs depend on potatoes as the the cash crop to pay for tractors and other ma- chinery also automobiles. 1928, I paid $128 for a potato dig- ger, today they are closer one thousand,’’ Mr. Wallace ara “After last year when we had fusarium rot a potato crop of from 90 to 150 bushels an acre is a calamity,”’ Mr. Wallace c on- elud

iu

Arnold Wood, West Cape, also referred to the present situation as a disaster and suggested po- tatoes come under price su p- port for distressed agricultural products. ‘‘We were given as- surance by Mr. Diefenbaker two years ago that potatoes would come under price sup- port,” continued Mr. Wood, “and the present administration is under a moral obligation to

come to the aid of growers this year.” o
