The budget slices off the eight- per-cent sales tax on fuel oil of this kind. That might mean around a cent a gallon if it is passed to the customer.

But. as it works out, about all the cut will do for many house- holders is to make up for an in- crease just put into effect by oil companies as a. consequent.- of dollar devaluation.

The third-and last-tax reduc- tion is, by Mr. Abbott's admission, "very small". It cuts the excise tax on apple cider and other weak Wines from 50 to 25 cents a gal- lon. It’a aimed at benefitting the apple industry, rather than the IOIIIUYHEI‘.

A Feature For Every Frldoy

Among The Farmers Federation Of Agriculture News

Crop Not 8o Heavy

A tour across the Island this week leads us to believe that our potato crop is not aa heavy as first anticipated. Harvesting is esti- mated at from seventy-five to eighty per cent completed.

Although there has been big yields in some areas there are several sections reporting a light- er crop than last year. Except for a few local blight infected fields the quality is generally good. Where very heavy applications of fertilizer were used, there seems to be a large percentage of over- sized potatoes. However, this situation is spotty too.

Word has come through that the United States one million bushel tableatock quota for Canada was filled during the week. Very few Island potatoes went through un- der this agreement.

On the overall picture, the Oct- ober potato estimates indicate that there will not be more potatoes in Canada and the United States than will be required for tablestock and seed this season.

The whole problem is one of orderly marketing and proper distribution, something that farm people must organize to handle themselves if the problem is to be solved. .

Orderly Marketing y

Members of the recently ap- pointed Turnip Industry Commit- tet. met the Government on Tues- day to discuss the possibilities of using our Provincial and Domin- ion marketing legislation to im- prove our turnip marketing sys- tem. They were very cordially received.

This is the first request for the establishment of such a board in this Province, and naturally some objections were raised. The mat- ter of procedure for having such n scheme drawn up and presented had to ‘be decided also.

Some members thought that our old system of speculating and gambling with the farmers pro- ducts could not be controlled.

every other industry or profes- sion is organized to a point where they can sell the products of their labor at uniform rates with- out any price cutting or gambling, farmers should be entitled to some say in the sale and distribution of their products.

Producing sufficient food, keep- ing our young people on the farms, ,the prosperity and, content- ment in our rural communities, feeding the hungry peoples of the world, ls ‘all based on orderly dis- tribution to assured markets at a and the producer.
