(Federatlon of Agriculture News) out Invitation

- This is our last opportunity to draw the attention of Federation members and Island farmers to the semi-annual meetings of the C. F. A. at Amherst. Monday July 26, will be devoted to a special con- ference on poultry matters and a number of Island poultrymen have been invited to attend the meeting and take part in discussing na- tional poultry policy. On the same day the directors of the Dairy Farmers of Canada will meet and discuss present and future problems related to dairying. Production is heavy. Surpluses are growing and 1955 can very easily produce some trying adjustments for the men uho milk cows.

Potato Plans

Many potatae growers are - beginning to think of the coming marketing season and are building; up their hopes for better retiirzls in the coming year. Frequently we hear the question asked us to whether the pooling system will be operated for this crop, a question which, .at the moment perhaps, no one can give a definite answer on. Last year's operation was perhaps not a fair demonstration of ll pool- ing system. The fact that the guaranteed initial payment exceed- ed the market price very effectively prevented a demonstration of tin: circumstances. Operating under cir- effecfs of pooling under normal cumstances where the market price would be for part or for the entire season above the initial payment. the grower would then be in a posi- tion to Judge the benefits of being relieved of the necessity of attempt- ing to out-guess the market.
