Wlience The Potato hoard

In view of the current agitation with inspect to the Potato Board nd "the statement contained in fhe petition that the Board was 5,1 up through the manipulations D, at small group that had no in- terest in the Potato Industry, it Wuici seem in, order to review 50lllC history in this connection. The bad potato years prior to 1950 had started many growers miiikirig "in terms of an improved 5l'5Il'fI'I in handling the crop and i;, '43 and '40 public meetings mmlwdiy urged the Federation to 9,-more the Dossibilities of bring-' mg about changes. it was entire- I, natural that the Board of dir- ;.;...,,s would consider the possi- billllel of the Marketing Act and accordingly. a plebiscite was held in the early spring of 1950 to de- ier.-nine whether or not growers were in favor of a producer-con- uvoiled Marketing Board. set up lmder the Marketing Act. Growers voted almost 100 per cent in favor and this fact should indicate at least the belief that mmiers were honestly searching W some change and also effec- ,.m- di9'pi'oves the ”small group" me-nry. .

A)Fg;tur0 for Every Friday- Among The Farmers ' A Federation 0i Agriculture News

In the light of the plebiscite re-' sults the Federation had no al- ternative other than to press for the setting up of the Board and the necessary steps leading up to the forming of the Board and the procllmation of the scheme were carried through by the Federation directors and officials.

once the Board was in operation it was definitely on it's own. the Federation had discharged it's responsibilities to the farmers and from there on it's interests lay in the field of recording public opinion and accepting the recom- mendations ncl suggestions of it's members wit respect to the work of the Potato Board.

It should be clearly understood that if a majority of Federation members do not want the Potato Board to continue then the Feder- ation cannot want it either, but this decision should be arrived at openly by the growers and not through secret petitions of doubt- ful origin and questionable ver- acit .

The Potato Petition

when this newsletter appears in print. the Potato Board petition will have already been presented to the Government and no doubt

have received its careful consid- eration.

The closing paragraph sets forth the objects of the petitioners "are those of repealing the market- ing scheme and setting up a com'- mittee similar in nature to the present Potato Promotional Com- mittee now functioning. It would appear reasonable that the final decision should be justified by the eight prefgeding paragraphs and it is here hat the petition demon- strata its weakness in-as-much as it is shot. through with inac- curacies, falsehood, and pen- derous humbug.

These facts then suggest that many of those who signed the pet- ition cannot possibly believe all it's statements and for this rea- son the final structure rests upon a. foundation of sand.

No Obligations

It has been brought to the al.- tentgion of the Federation office the rumors are being circulated to the effect that Federation mem- bers might be liable for financial claims against itself or the Po- tato Marketing Board. It should be clearly understoon that there is no possible way in which a Federation member can be held liable for the financial obliga- tions of either the Federation or the Potato Board.

Insurance Claims

Federation members who hold Accident Insurance and suffer in- Juries should prompiy write to the Federation office requesting claim forms. The policy states that notice of the accident should be

made within twenty days and members are advised to govern t'-1

ves accordingly.

Everything At Once

The continued bad weather of last week seriously held up liay- making and will result in much of the crop being stored in an advanced stage of maturity.

Many of the better grain fields are badly lodged and this fore- tclls some future troubles for this crop. Here and there a grain field is starting to ripen, some po- tatoes are being dug, and turnips pulled. August looks like a busy month for the men of the soil.

Implement Trends

The financial section of an out- ario publication in giving an op- inion on the common stock of a Canadian Implement Company has this to say: r

"With the prices of fariii coin- modities continuing to dE'CIlIlC and huge crop surpluses in the United States threatening to bring limitations on plantings for next year's crops, the market for farm implements promises to become lven iriore competitive. It appears. more than ever, that the peak in farm equipment sales has passed and earnings and sales will show a decline from the record levels of 1052."

The same unfortunate circumstances are inie in the case of beef. In I 1945 our livestock producers exported 333,000,000 worth of Canadian beef - a market now completely lost to our livestock producers. .. gg Also, prior to the war. Canada supplied 93.9w. oftlhe iolal British im-

market is now co mpleiely lost.
