Departmental officials since have made a canvass of the amount of fertilizers available and it is esti- mated that a largo part of eastern and central Canada could be sup~ plied. The proposal is understood to be that the government set s- side $1,000,000 to meet transpo-"a- tion costs or moving the fcrfiliz from the plants to farms.

The argument ls tlwt ‘f l0 acre» under plentiful fertilization cou‘d be made to produce what l5 ares previously did, it would require lea". farm help to till the reduced acre- age with equal results.

“We are not by arav means sure how long the demand ‘rom Britain for more foodstuffs will keen up," one official told The Canadian Press. “With the Unite-l States headed for a ble wheat surplus and the- South American cntmlrlcs. ready to hell) out the Albcs. the pressure on Canada for food from the Unli- ed Klnnrlcm and other countrk“ may soon ease up, oven before tho war is over.
