A report on potato marketing boards operating in Canada and a to marketing review were highlights of the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Potato Producers As- sociation at the Basilica Rec- reation Center last night.

The meeting opened with president and chairman George Howatt giving a run down on information about the setting .ip of the P.E.I. Potato Mark- eting Board following a meet- ing of the growers in 1958 which recommended it.

He said efforts were made 'ast year to test the legality of the various aspects board and no loopholes been found.

He said the idea is ready to be voted on and that a plebis- 2ite with the growers must be

setting up a potato marketing board.

OTHER CANADIAN BOARDS

Minister of Agriculture An- drew B. MacRae addressed the meeting on potato marketing ards in otlciier parts of Can-

one in the interior of British . Columbia and one in the west

.s‘oast of BC.

“.Mr. MacRae commented that 1‘ 40.000 acres and some - r growers of potatoes on the

sland, the 20 odd turn out for meeting was rather poor. MacRae noted that in

should be on any board to add business influence.

Mr. MacRae pointed out the main difficulty on the Island was finances and that there was little in common between the B.C. boards and the one here.

The minister said one desk selling required a lot of capit- al and a lot of know how. He

said he has been questioned who will manage such an oper- ation and what would be its terms of reference but that he has not had an answer to these

questions ‘yet. PRICES FLUCTUATE

Hon. E. D. Reid. guest speaker of the evening. gave

a comprehensive review of potato market conditions at- fecting P.E.I. over the last

20 years, noting that the aver- age price for those so years per bag was 9] cents

said prices fluctuate from year to year and some- thing has to be done about it

9 before it ruins the markets.

He said the current week to week fluctuation also affects prices and a pool is needed no help the overall price situation.

The prices over the past it!) years have been concurrent with those all over Canada a he United States as witnessed re- cently when P.E.I. prices rose only three days after the prices in the United States did. he said.

STARCII PLANT SUGGEst

Mr. Reid said there would ne- ver be a satisfactory price sup- port for potatoes. but that

dration plant would aid in tak- ing care of excess potatoes.

He said he felt that the pro blem was not mainly marketing but that productivity could the key to success. He noted that the potato shipments should be kept moving during the season because a potato buildup could be disastrous.
