Mr. Mctleelyz "There was an at-

tempt at co-operation but it could not be worked out."

Mr. Lea: "Wea there a.n gg-ne- ment made between the shippers that you would all ask certain prices?"

Mr. Mslveeiyz 'There greement made. I would aborate on that a little. ers in Jersey had notifie they were going to buy and Mr. Boulter called

We made an appointment to go up and see him in the morning, We went up and talked the thing over and we put it up to him that the only way the market could be controlled and the_ prices maintained was that one mandot.heaeliinginPriccelid- ward Island. and that me orders would be pro rata between the As- scciatsd Shippers, the Potato Growers Association and the Harris Abattoir. The only way the situa- tion oould be controlled was that these orders be pro rated between the three, and the basis of the pro rating was 2-5 to the Potato Grow- ers Amcciation, I-5 to the Assoc- iated Shippers and l-5 to the Har- ris Abattoir. The basis of working that out was the fact the Associat- ed Shippers had put out about ,twice the fertiliser last year the Potato Growers Association had.”

Mr. Lea: “Ol course the Amoeia-

Mr. mes along and says “lwillee youat$4.00andIwi.i1 guarantee I won‘t sell to anybody else at less money." He positively refuses to sell for less money. 'I‘he history has been that in 1929 Mr. Boulter sold at $4.00, me d¢g_[¢1-5 sold at $4.00. Mr. Boulter reduced

the invoice to Rooney and-

Mr. M*:Neely; "The price started

off at $4.00, the market kept slid- ing. We sold potatoes for $4.00, we sold to the same man at $3.75 we sold to the same man as low as $2.40. ll' he wanted potatoes he paid* the market price at the time. Thel market dropped, as I remember iti started off at '10 or '75 and dropped to -i0. The average buying price was 64 cents. The Potato Growers As- szrizxiicn adjusted their invoice

from 54 00 to $3.37 1-2.”

Mr. Emxlterz 'That is a big

Mr. McNeely: “I can bring a man

to prove the statement."

Mr, Scales: “Mr. Bouiter will

need to verify it or contradict it."

Mr. Biouiter: “They have not al-

ways been lower. I would like to express my opinion and that is they were determined they would get those two' old standhys of the Potato Growers Association, no matter if they dropped the price.

Mr.. Boulicr: "Take our southern

sales. They were always direct sales and there ncwr was n nickel one way or the other."

Mr. Scales: "I wish the chairman

would ask Mr. Bouiirr if in his opinion he had agreed tc Mr. Mc- Neely‘s suggestion tha.; he take 2-5, the Associated Shippers 2-5 and 'the Harris Abnttolr l-5. if in his opinion the price \\'>\1ld have been higher and the ."I'n~"s would have gotten mol‘e_ money?"
