ers as a move to establish healthy

relating farm prices to production costs.

Potatoes exported to the United States this year are unaffected by the action of the U. S. Depart.- ment of Agriculture in reducing the price guarantee from 90 to 60 percent of parity. as this regulation‘ will not apply to any part". of the i948 crop, states Mr. E. I). Reid, manager of the P. E. I. Potato Growers‘ Association.

The reduction in price guarantee next year is for the purpose of preventing a repetition. of this year's over-production. and should be welwmed by Canadian export-

msrket. conditions, Mr. Reid said. The 1048 crop, he exiplalned. is being covered on the original price basis. which is 90 percent of the parity formula set by Congress for

By reducing this figure to 00 percent next year the incentive responsible for this year's market glut will be greatly minimized.

Too Generous

"Even the larger American grow- ers realize that their government support. progratmme has been for too generous." Mr. Reid said. "Not- withstanding the fact that acreage was reduced, more potatoes were grown per acre and the result has been the third largest crop in United States history.

"The logical setup for the De- partment was to reduce the guar- antee for next year. thus molding a repetition of the present un- healthy condition."

He explained that between B0 and 90 percent of the production actually sold today goes through government support channels. This year parity ls figured at $3.16 per cwi, and the U. S. growers are get- ting 00 percent of this amount. If parity remains at. the same figure. they will receive 60 percent next: year, which works out to $1.80 per cwt.

Mr. Reid maintains that. from the viewpoint of-Canadian as well as American producers. the slashing of the price guarantee next year should be wel-cctiticd. Its stabilizing effect, he believes. will more than offset the advantage now enjoyed by Canadian potatoes in selling bo- low the present high price for the U. S. product. on a gltttted market.

‘TORONTO, Nov. e eighteen farmers and their women folk who arrived at Malton air- port yesterday morning frcsn Charlottetown to see the Royal Winter Flair were in much better spirits today after a refreshing night's sleep. -

They needed it. Veteran plane travellers such as Premier J. Wal- ter Jones who headed the group were emphatic in saying that it, -wss one of the roughest flights they hsd ever experienced.

For the first three hours the plane flew along with the comfy, sleep-inducing purring of a cat curled u-p before the fireplace. The passengers, relaxed in their seatts, passed away the time sip- ping hot coffee which a. pretty and good natured stewardess kc-p; bringing to them.
