ORGANIZED MARKETING The former — Saskatchewan | premier suggested that organiz- jed marketing boards should be | set up by the producers them- selves to negotiate guaranteed | prices with a federal govern. ment price support agen “We would pass legislation to enable producers to take this | step, to assist them if they de- | sired to organize their own marketing system, and to give | financial assistance in construc: | tion of processing facilities, For example, if the potato growers of the Island wanted to organize build their own processing id dehydrating plants. the | legislation would provide for the | mecessary grants and loans.” The basic provision, however, he said, would be the establish: ment of minimum guaranteed forward prices. The actual price consumers would be allowed to find their own level by market forces. If the price fell below the guarantee to producers, the gov- ernment price support agency would make up the difference by means of a deficiency pay- mnt,

The guaranteed price would be negotiated with producers on @ regional ‘basis, and would be related to average costs of pro- duction and extend over the normal production period for | each commodity.

NOT CHARITY | Mr. Douglas contended that | this was not a matter of charity or subsidy for farmers. “We must recognize that un- |like most other industries the farmer cannot shut down his

At the same time even a small increase in total supply almost always brings about a very sharp break in price.
